23 BEFORE 24

Guys, I'm going to be a little selfish today and make this one all about me. Don't worry, it won't be too long, I promise. :) But I just wanted to make a special post (or any post really, I haven't been keeping to a very strict schedule after all...) because today is my birthday!

I have been on this lovely planet for 23 years now. I have done a lot of things in that time, a lot of fun things for sure (went to the Cayman Islands with some friends after graduating high school), a lot of important things (for me at least, like graduating college with a degree in something I love), yes. But I feel like a lot of the things that have happened to me or I have done in my life are things that have just happened, or they've been planned out. This year I think I want to be a little bit more spontaneous. Not like go on a cross-country road trip on the spur of the moment, though that would be tons of fun. But I want to create more memories this year. Do more things that have an impact on my life, those things where I'm in the moment and I can stop for a second and just know that this is going to be something that I will always remember. I love those moments, and I want to create more of them. That probably means that I will have to start saying "yes" more than I say "no". There are reasons for my saying no, but every once in a while it couldn't hurt to be sleep deprived, right? I mean, I'm 23, and that's what 23 year old bodies are meant to handle, yah? Haha, well we shall see.

I'm making myself a list of things that I would like to do or accomplish during this new year of life. 23 things I want to do before I turn 24. Seems feasible. I can do this!

We'll see how I did a year from now! :)
