So this is an exercise in visualization and affirmation. I keep thinking about the things I want in my life and I realize that I don't really commit to anything because I'm pretty sure that my feelings will change. But, I've realized there are a few things that I want in my life, and they're not anything super empowering, enlightening, or astounding. They're just things that I know will make me feel a little more at peace when I am able to have/do them.

I want a garden. I don't want it to be huge. I like the idea of growing one of everything. Though unrealistic, I'd probably try two. It'd be like one of the ones my mom has in her backyard, and I'd have a compost made from old tires because it was what I had when I grew up, and I think it was awesome.

I want to have a kitchen with natural lighting. I want a house with natural lighting. I love my apartment, but there are too many walls. I love the sunlight. I want to live out of town, but not too far out. I don't want to look at roads out my window.

I want to write a book. A fictional one where people live in far away kingdom and magic exists in a way that no one has fathomed before.

I want to publish articles about social theories and models.

I want to own my own business that is a cafe and a microbrewery. I want it to have maps on the walls, I want big cushy chairs, I want great pastries and unique mugs. I want a place for fun and fellowship. I also want it to be socially responsible and support social entrepreneurship.

I want to backpack in Europe, hike in Colorado, and vacation on an island.

I want to be leave people feeling like I care about them, like I'm there for them.

That's all. :)
