things I WILL accomplish by the age of 38
-I will save someone's life- physically or emotionally.
-I will develop a relationship with my mom beyond my animosity and false conversations
-I will make someone truly speechless.
-I will never use my driver's license unless it's an extreme necessity. I will rely on a bike (ha), public transportation, and carpooling.
-I will hold no grudges and try to not hold any animosity and hatred toward anybody (starting today).
-I will do daily affirmations every day of my life, in hopes of never forgetting who I am and that I should mean more to myself than any other person should mean to me.
-I will progressively work my way up to healthy veganism. No anemia, no massive weight-loss/gain- just a healthy lifestyle.
-I won't blame my woes on the world or fate but on myself. Full responsibility will be mine from now on.
-I will not place all my eggs in one basket for any one thing in life, from the simplest or heaviest of decisions or actions.
-...despite the last one, I will do all I can to not remain neutral on anything. I will educate myself the furthest I can on any given subject so that I can develop my own opinion and back it up despite the harshest of critics. There's no escape hatch when you're trapped up against a wall, so don't be cornered to begin with.
-I will control my insecurity and temper (though it's quite patient and not too readily set-off). I am realizing that there is no action someone could perform that should bring you low enough to question yourself or the world and take out that questioning in the form of some kind of bitterness or tears.
-I will document as much of my life as I can through photographs, journals, songs, drawings/paintings, anything. I want to look back and remember, not forget.
-I will go to France and talk dirty to a Frenchman with my not-so-sexy French voice, just to see the look on his face and then possibly be slapped in the face.
-I will go to Italy and eat gelato with the town folk.
-I will visit the following states: Texas, California, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, and West Virginia. Those which I have reasoning to visit and those which I do NOT have reasoning to visit will remain a secret.
-I will not wear make-up more than three times a week past the age of 19.
-I will remind someone of how much I care about them every day.
-I will not use fear as an excuse for anything.
-I will add to this as I see fit at the moment I come up with something new to add.
