i want to do things

every once in awhile i get in this really... productive, mood. i want to make things happen, i want to take on new things, get new hobbies, meet new people, and just, be better at living i guess. and right now, i'm in one of those moods. 

i want to do things

i want to paint. i want to volunteer again. i want to write in my journal every single day. i want to get better at the piano. i want to go to more concerts. i want to learn to sew. i want to cook. i want to run a half marathon. i want to get back into photography. i want to be in charge of something. i want to make plans, big plans. i want to decorate my new apartment. i want to play a game of assassin. i want to be good.

i'm perfectly capable of making all of these things happen. i'm also perfectly capable of making excuses so they don't. i choose the former. one at a time. here i goooooooo. wish me luck.

i spoke too soon

i lied, i'm not better

i got sick again early this morning

and have been feeling crummy all day

but since all there really is to do on days like this

is read, or watch movies, or facebook,

i'm falling in love with reading again

and thinking that my goal

(of reading one book a month this year)

won't be too terribly hard, at all

now i just need some new books, hmmm
