challenges: day 24/24

60 Day Picture Challenge

Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change.

My height.
I'm happy with my height on a day-to-day basis, but since my dream job would be to become a supermodel, height would be useful. I know people would argue that petite models have made it big in the industry but my height combined with my athletic body type are not an easy fit for what is considered supermodel standards.
I don't begrudge the industry for these kind of unstated stipulations. All women can be fashionable but haute couture does look more dramatic on long, lanky bodies. But hey, a girl can dream. :)

30 Day Song Challenge

Day 24 - A song that you want to play at your funeral


Mandy Moore/ Switchfoot - Only Hope


Hmm, this is morbid yet intriguing at the same time... I feel like the most appropriate song would depend on when I died and who I left behind. Instead I chose a song that people could envision me singing or that I would want a special someone to sing about me. Thus, I list both artists that sing it. 




Only Hope


There's a song that's inside of my soul. 
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again 
I'm awake in the infinite cold. 
But you sing to me over and over and over again. 

So, I lay my head back down. 
And I lift my hands and pray 
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours 
I know now you're my only hope. 

Sing to me the song of the stars. 
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again. 
When it feels like my dreams are so far 
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again. 

So I lay my head back down. 
And I lift my hands and pray 
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours 
I know now, you're my only hope. 

I give you my destiny. 
I'm giving you all of me. 
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am 
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back. 

So I lay my head back down. 
And I lift my hands and pray 
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours 
I pray, to be only yours 
I know now you're my only hope. 

hmmmmm, hmmmmm, oooooh.
