I think about how I've grown and changed over the past few years and I try to plan my next five years. I've made a few five year plans, but as I quickly approach my 20th birthday (it's tomorrow) I've started to think about the cool things that I'd like to achieve within the next 10 years. I'm all for spontaneity, but I don't want to reach a certain age and have not completed certain things. Here are a couple of things that I'd love to do/achieve throughout my 20s.

1. Do ridiculous things - I'd love to go hot air ballooning, climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge or pet exotic animals.

2. Read more books - a few years ago, I started a list of all the books that I read and I would love for it to continue and grow largely through my 20s.

3. Get married - this is a pretty self explanatory one...

4. I'd also like to be a mother

5. I'd love to say that I was able to keep a journal through my 20s. My "New Years Resolution" this year was to write in a journal at least once a week, and so far I've surprisingly stuck to it.

6. Live in a big city - even if just for 6 months or so, somewhere like London, Paris or New York would be incredible to live in.

7. Appreciate the quiet moments

8. Grow in my relationship with God

9. Exercise more often... even if it's just a walk up a mountain or something, just some form of activity to get out into the fresh air

10. Stop comparing my life to others

11. Travel more

12. Buy/build a house

13. Hopefully still be blogging, or at least updating this blog somewhat regularly; so, let's see how I go with this list.


much love,
