This blog is something I've wanted to start for a while.
This list began in High School. I was near the age of 16 and was craving some change. I felt overwhelmed with ideas of things I wanted to do and stayed up half the night writing it all down. I've learned that when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, we need something to wake us up, to make us feel alive. Friends, family, strangers...all contribute to helping us define ourselves. Fortunately, because of them, we find peace against days of hopelessness and tragedy. This list has taught me that when families move, friends change, and strangers stay strangers...I still know who I am.
So, here it is! My life as a list.
