Looking Back
I was going through my superman journal, where alot of my better poems are, trying to figure out which ones were December and which ones were November and sorting it all out when I came across a "List of Goals." One of them was "To love someone truley and with all my heart." I was so proud, I got to check that one off.
Looking back at something like that, I can't believe how my goals can change from December to now. The goal at the top of the list was "Go to Italy." Now, I have no interest in Italy. I would much rather visit a state I haven't driven through or haven't lived in. Or maybe take a random trip across the boreder to Canada, or something like that. But others, like the second one, I still want to happen. I am going to make a list of goals that I want to happen in my lifetime, or at least the ones I can think of right off the top of my head:
1. Write and publish a poem that will be remembered for centuries after I'm gone.
2. Live in New York for at least a year, just so I can try and publish some of my work.
3. Create a book out of my poems and photography.
4. Be able to afford a good camera for photography.
5. Create a shape.
6. Name a city.
7. Have a star named after me.
8. Design a shoe.
9. Get married.
10. Fall in love, over and over with the person I marry.
11. Be a good mom.
12. Have a successful career.
13. Get over trying to please my parents.
14. Write a song.
15. Write a poem that actually rhymes.
16. Stop being afraid of what people will think of what I write.
17. Make a coloring book.
18. Read the dictionary all the way through.
19. Read the bible all the way through.
20. Re-learn how to play the piano.
I guess that's good for now.
