my life list (or planned dreams)... otherwise known as 'future memories'
*updated July 2014
I began a "life list" while in middle school. Over time I have checked many things off, but still have far to go. Every few years I re-evaluate- I add new items and take some old ones off that are no longer dreams of mine. I hope to cross off as many as possible but to never finish the list... because "finishing" would mean no longer having dreams and a dream-less existence is just not living at all.
