Goals

With the glow of white gold bracing my eye and a diamond sparkling on my finger, I find myself thinking about all that is coming for me. And as I realize all that is coming, I have to brace myself sometimes. I am living all that I want to live and becoming all that I want to be, yet still somewhere I am terrified of all of that, of all of what is coming. I, like so many of those people closest to me, am scared to move on from college, to move on from the life I know, to move away, to get married, to start a family, to choose my own life. And while I know I am more than capable of doing all of that, I am still terrified of how it will all happen. Sometimes I sit back and think of all my dreams and what I want, of living in Paris, accomplishing all my career goals, of learning French and touring the Arab world that once held me as its own. And thinking of all these things I can only hope to achieve. THere is so much going on, so much happening all at once and in the end I can't help but smile, because I know in the end I'll get through it all, I'll find peace and accomplish all that I want to. So here are my goals, no time limits, just goals for myself to rise to the occasion.

1. Live in Paris
2. Get married
3. Learn French and Arabic
4. Live and work in London
5. Rise in my career
6. Publish some sort of my writing
7. Buy myself an Audi
8. Own a townhouse in the pearl district
9. return to portland someday
10. keep the faith I've created
11. not lose contact with those that i love the most
12. fulfill every dream I've ever dreamt on some level
