someday i swear

• i will buy an old, old victorian home that needs renovated in the historic district of whatever town i decide to live in and fix it up myself. 
• i will keep my room clean for longer than three days.
• i'll raise four kids and we'll dance around the living room together, read a dozen books before bed every single night, go on family road trips across the country seeing absolutely everything there is to see, wear matching socks, go out for ice cream on friday nights, and be the weirdest family on the block. oh, and i'll love them more than absolutely anything in the world.
• i will learn to make my own coffee perfectly; not too watered down but not too strong, either.
• i will publish something. anything. 
• i will become an every-single-day runner (the biggest reason i'm going to do a half marathon).
• i will purge my closet of the dresses i don't wear.
• i will spend less time on tumblr.
• i will learn to stop talking so much (just kidding, probably never).
• i will photograph a wedding.
• i will be able to look him in the eye and not see the person i used to know.
• i will learn to wear my glasses to class every day.
• i will ask someone out who i think is lightyears out of my league.
• i will be able to openly admit i love oprah and her shows still make me cry.
• i will quit pretending rory and lorelai gilmore are real people.
• i will meet taylor swift again and tell her that her "red" album came when i needed it most (and 'we are never ever getting back together' was a sign from the heavens quite literally the day it came out).
• i will get a "B" in organic chemistry.
• i will live in seattle for at least a year of my twenties.
• i will learn to be able to appreciate the good and the bad, bitterness absent.
