Laundry List: Resolutions

1. To go out—to house parties; to shops filled with mugs that are shaped like flowers and clouds, or ruby red cocktail dresses, or pearl earrings, or surfboards; on dates that take me to picnics in meadows on mountains, or rivers that are made for rafts, or places where great heights of snow lay untouched and beg to start snowball fights.

2. To read miraculous books that teach about living. My bookshelves are taken over by them, and yet, I haven‘t finished any!

3. To find flowers on my doorstep. I was listening to a love story and felt this wild want to open my door and find a florist with a bouquet, or a boy with one, or just a bunch of roses on my welcome mat. This year, I’m dreaming about that. And I suppose that‘s where the next one comes in:

4. To fall in love. It’s an odd resolution. I don’t think I’ve ever named it like this before, but this year, I‘m going to fall in love, to have a wildly romantic summer fling, or find myself in a soft, long term kinda thing. So much of my world revolves around love, but I’ve never thought of it this way—as something to do.

5. To start a podcast.

6. To travel more than ever before.

7. To turn this apartment into a dreamy, little fairy home.

8. To learn to cook. My current menu reads: tuna and crackers, salad, omelet, and ice cream.
   

Happy New Year <3
