hello 2018, it’s nice to meet you. I promise to try harder this year as long as you’re not too hard on me.

most people say “I want to lose weight!” “I want to get a new job!” this year? I don’t want that.

I want freedom and peace of mind. I want to hike new trails and read more books. I want to live with flowers in my hair and an open heart. I want to meet new people from all over the world, and I want to experience life as they do.

I want to fall in love in purely platonic ways, I want to stay up until six a.m. with my friends while we laugh over things we did, or want to do, or plan our futures & how we need life to play out for us. I want to drive, with the ocean on either side of me, screaming every word to that one song from the disney movie none of us remember.

I want to explore in every sense of the word. I want to see places I used to only dream of, call up my old friends and just make sure they're okay.

I want to learn, new languages, new concepts, new philosophies and ideologies. I want to study & understand things on a level I’ve never bothered to before. I want to better myself, the world around me, the people around me. I want to change the world, it doesn’t matter how small my contribution is, but I will change the world.

I want to experience the feeling of flight. I want to fall from high places and be caught at the last second, right before I hit the ground. I want to be terrified in the greatest of ways. I want to be truly happy.

2018 I trust that you’ll be nothing but good vibes all round.
