I don’t have a single, overarching goal.  I don’t want to be an astronaut.  I don’t want to solve world hunger.  I don’t want an Olympic gold medal.  But, I don’t think I underachieve.

I want to learn how to take beautiful pictures.  I want to learn Italian, Chinese, and Irish Gaelic.  I want to keep reading books, and get paid to tell others how awesome they are.  I want to write a book.  I want to learn about the history of religion, and figure out why people believe what they do.  I want to learn how to play the piano, and maybe the harp.  I want to learn auto mechanics.  I want to be a good cook.  I want to cut hair.  I want to dance, gracefully and captivatingly.

I want to stay in love.  I want to teach children to reach for things they didn’t know they could have.  I want to feed people who are hungry, and listen to people who need a friend.  I want to smell flowers as I see them.  I want to understand the actions I take, and their reactions.  I want to say what I mean.  I want to be strong in my convictions, knowing that I have though through my opinions and I am saying what I mean to say.  I want to be articulate.

I want my living space to be clean.  I want to be caught up on the latest movies, books, and games.  I want to eat well and to pay my bills. I want to look my best. I want to have good grades.  I want to laugh with my friends.  I want to be supportive of my fiancée. I want to spend time with my dog.

I am busy all the time.  I am working to have all the things I want. I will never be famous or renowned for accomplishing my goals.  I will be happy, though.
