I want to embroider some things. And i wanna sculpt some things. And i want to make some candle holders for my bday. And umm. I want to make more art. And learn more philosophy. I want to listen to more Ted Talks. I want to go on more runs and listen to new music from different countries. I want to try new restaurants and meet new people. I want to grow and live & be happy. I want to become more spiritual and in tune w the world around me. I want to sit on the earth more often and visit the ocean. I want to wake up and sing loud. I want to write in my diary and strengthen my relationships w the people i love. I want to love as deeply as I can. I want to create a home in myself
