I'm doing 34 things
I’ve been absent from 43 things for a very long time now (probably a couple years, judging from the status of this goal). Looking back, I remember feeling silly for making love a goal – I’ve always thought that love should be romantic and spontaneous, not something that is written down on a list. It also felt silly because it felt so far out of my reach. Thinking back to how I was so idealistic and also so pessimistic is a real eye opener. Being able to finally cross this off makes me feel pretty invincible. Thus the power of this site – the power of writing things down and getting to check them off. Yup. I’m back. It feels good.

While working on this, I realized I needed a special space to keep all my finances organized. So, I have this awesome small cloth binder (in green!) that I devoted to finances.
