How I did it: I'm realizing today that I can check "Live my dreams" off of my list. Most of the things on my list are vague and wishy-washy anyway, but I realize now that I AM living my dreams. My most basic want, desire, wish in life was simply to be happy. I'm happy. Now I can move on to bigger, greater things. I won't leave this world untarnished (I use the word "tarnish" in the most positive of ways). Read how I did it…
First of all, I don’t know how I will do so.
Second of all, I secretly hope it’s at least 5 times that much. Or maybe just another zero tacked on ;)
This year I will:
- sell books, clothes, etc.
- hopefully work in a satisfying job
- try to be self-employed
But $1,000 is my starting goal :)
I definitely run a lot faster than I could have two months ago thanks to track, but how fast is “faster”, really?
I haven’t even gotten to five.. in fact, the most I’ve done is three, and that was half walking. But yesterday I walked fifteen miles—I was amazed at myself for not getting tired (I didn’t sit down and I just kept on going for eight hours!) .. it’s weird cuz when I run, my toes hurt. My foot’s shaped weirdly, I need to buy more comfortable shoes. My toenails are also weird, even though I clip them, they dig into my skin. It’s freaky and annoying.
