what i want to do & what I want to remember:

Last summer I went to London and Estonia.  London met all my expectations (which were pretty high) and Estonia surprised me in great ways.  Right after I came home from the trip I wrote down a list of things I wanted to do and a list of things I wanted to remember. 

I wanted to...
  • Spend more time in parks.
  • Use more public transportation.
  • Walk more. 
  • Find people with good attitudes. 
  • Do my own thing.
  • Stay away from people with bad attitudes. 
  • Tell people what I think more. 
  • Find someone who goes out of there way to be with me. 
  • Go out of my for more people.
  • Never worry.
What I wanted to remember...
  • My new friends
  • Uneven pavements
  • Epic building made of stone
  • That I like to sing, dance, play with children, meet new people, write, go places I have never been, window shop, 
  • open markets
  • plays/musicals
  • Peter Pan
A month later I wrote this "Went to Seattle and back after moving out of the Mansa house.  Seattle reminded me of all the things I want to do and all the things I want to remember from London & Estonia. Back to school with no place to live is where I am at, at the moment"

Now six months later I look at those lists again and realize that I failed to do and to remember most of the things on them. Finishing school and moving to L.A. is where I am at, at the moment. 

Maybe I won't forget this time.
