There is a lot I want to do with my life. Some things are small, some things are big. Here they are:
Write a book
Writing a
book, I think, must be the most difficult and satisfying thing I could ever do.
Creating something out of nothing by knitting ideas together and making them
fit into a coherent story. To, then, crawl into someone’s head as they are
reading your book and taking them on an adventure through the words you have written.
And while being on that adventure, introducing them to your imaginary friends
and enemies in the hope that they might become just a little bit more real. There is nothing I would rather do.
Travel
I would
like to see as much of the world as I possibly could. I want to understand
different cultures. I want to visit the past by visiting the remains of it. I
want to drift away while looking at breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. I want
to let my imagination take me away, but never lose sight of what is right in
front of me.
Meet one of my heroes
I would
like to have coffee or cake or both with someone whom I look up to. Someone brilliant.
Just so we could talk for a while. I would like to see where their minds go
when they are not being asked questions.
Go to Disneyland
I need to
go there.
Work in a bookshop and a library
These places
and the people who work there make me happy. And I would love to be a part of
that for a little while.
Work as a volunteer in a third world country
I want to
see what life there is like, I want to understand it and I want to help.
Have a home library
I will have
a pinterest worthy home library. There will be books, shelves, a coffee/tea/hot
chocolate stand, socks, sofas, candles,… and quotes written all over the walls
and the ceilings in glow in the dark paint.
Backpack through at least 2 countries
Pack a bag,
a tent and a friend and go.
Graduate from an institution of higher
education
Working on
it…
Adopt a dog from a shelter
I love dogs
and to be able to save one by giving them a new home would be amazing.
Have an article published in a paper
This would
mean that I actually wrote something someone would want to read.
Make an entire outfit from scratch
My grandma
and my mother used to make their own clothes. And they made some really
beautiful stuff. So, I would like to learn how to do that too.
That is it
for now! This list will probably keep on growing. And hopefully, I will also be
able to tick some off.
