just so you know

I want to change the world.
I want to make something that will make people fall down.
I want to bring people together.
I want to gather all of the people in the world in one place and tell them, one by one, that everything is ok. Then at the end we’ll have a group meeting where everyone gets together and holds hands and lets off balloons and cheers because they all know each other now. They met in the queue and discussed what their lives would be like now that they know that everything is ok; they decided that life was going to be a lot easier.
One man is going to learn how to swim.
I want to be on the news. I want to be a newsreader, and I want to make up the facts myself.
Today’s top story – it is not unreasonable to think that anyone in the world could fall in love with you at any given moment. I know you think it’s impossible, but really, it isn’t. In fact it’s very likely. There are probably hundreds of people who fall in love with you every day, but they just haven’t had the guts to tell you yet. This might seem strange to you, but its true.
Sometimes complete strangers who you’ve never even met suddenly fall completely in love with you. There’s a man in China who just dropped his cutlery on the floor because he thought about your face. A singer in Mexico is writing a song for you. She knows you don’t speak the same language, but she thinks that if she can play the right chord progression then you’ll be able to understand when she sings about your fingertips and your pancake breakfasts which take an hour to make but taste amazing.
I want all of my ideas to become realities and I want to know and to be reassured that this is not impossible.
I want to jump over buildings and I want to sit down and play board games.
I want a radio-friendly voice.
Then I want to be on the radio and I want to sing the last song the whole world listens to before they go to sleep.

I just want a little bit of help, please.
