Marching on like a Mad March Hare that marches because it's March. And whatever.

Hello, blog. Hello, March. Hello, reader, who be reading this.

Hello, my sanity! Where are you going???

Anyway. I've recently been doing a lot of written stuff in this REAL PURDY NOTEBOOK that my friend Gemma got me. Wanna see?


Super purdy, huh? So generally I've been writing quotes, lists and diary entries, and also doing big pages of cursive, and nerdy little doodles. This is all awesome, apart from the fact that it means I've been neglecting le blog.

So today I thought - well, I thought I'd cheat and type out what I just wrote in my diary: A whole big list of things I want to do. I want to stress that these things are not in chronological or preferential order... they simply hopped out of my brain and onto the page with very little thought processes involved other than making my hand write them. Yeah. Ok.

Stuff I want to do.

Read all the books on my to-read list by this time next year.
Meet John and Hank Green.
Learn to knit - properly.
Make a Project 4 Awesome video each year from this year onwards.
Write and perform an original song.
Grow my nails.

And that's my list of stuff I want to do. It would be nice to think if someone saw this, they would be inspired to create their own. I honestly believe that following your dreams, fighting for the right things and spending time with the ones you love is what being alive is all about.

  2. I love this post! I love it because I think everyone has a list like this but never think to write it down. I'm going to go make my list.
    Thank You
