I really like lists.
I like reading them, writing them, ticking things off them. To be honest, I even enjoy writing down my grocery list. So of course, I loved the post of lists I read on Leneys blog the other day. She put together a few lists about life right at that moment. I feel these kind of posts are a little like a time capsule. So I decided to do the same and take a look:
What did I believe about myself in June 2015, at almost 22 years old? What was important to me, what wasn’t? Here goes:
Making really great coffee at home
Surfing and/or longboarding
Making my own clothes
Concentrating on my work and not getting distracted all of the time
Remembering to take pictures in great places
Answering messages in a timely manner
Not looking at my phone when in company
Drinking enough water
Making really good pancakes
Talking to people I don’t know and actually getting to know them
Saying yes to new things (without unnecessarily worrying about everything)
People who are negative all of the time
Liking Bruno Mars
Not liking to read
Snapchat
Rudeness
Reading my Bible every morning
Reading in general
Learning new skills (listed above)
Writing
Sending messages/phoning the people I care about
Volunteering for some kind of good cause
These lists are subject to change. I wonder how they might look like in a few years. What will change, what will stay the same? Maybe I should write them down again in five years, or even ten. Even blogging and this space is even still a thing in ten years. A little bit like the Now & Then post, don’t you think?
There are still so many lists that are interesting – but that I probably won’t publish on the internet. Some examples:
My ten favourite songs
Also: My favourite books
Things that make me feel alive
Also: Things that make me feel afraid or hurt
Things that scare me (both in a good AND in a bad way)
People I would like to get to know better
Missed opportunities I regret
Brave chances I took
I don’t really know why I am in such a reflective mood at the moment. It’s fun, but it also makes me sad. Maybe that belongs on some kind of list as well? I would love to hear your thoughts.
