i have goals. lots of them.

this is a small list of things i want to do before i perish. this list is not all inclusive. this is just what i can think of at the moment.

• donate a large amount of money to charity. anonymously.
• eat chinese food. in china. and like it.
• learn to hand jive. seriously.
• master walking in crazy high heels for no other reason than i want to.
• be someone's godparent.
• get my masters' degree.
• pay off my student loans. (yeah, that's not happening, but it sounds good.)
• map my family tree. the real one, not the imaginary one.
• drop all the grudges and guilt i carry. it's not healthy and kind of heavy.
• stop drinking soda and start drinking juice. forever.
• become a vegan.
• move to an island. far, far away. (where they don't know what student loans are...)
• learn to differentiate love from security and need from want.

**the list is subject to change and is not comprehensive. but sometimes i think if i don't write these things down they'll never happen.
