the list.

"...the moment that i wait or i hesitate, is a moment that i waste. i can see it all passing me by..."
-rosi golan lyric


without getting too sappy and melancholy, i wanted to post a list of thirty goals for myself. life goes fast and i can't believe i'm about to be a quarter of century old! i just wanted to put this out there so i would have some accountability. as i check things off the list i may show a few of the details here. think about your own goals for the upcoming weeks, months, and years. is your life everything you want it to be? if not, now's the time to change it! leave me a comment and tell me some of your goals, what you think of mine, or anything else you feel like saying :)
