GOAL-SETTING, or something of that sort:

Haven't I told you the end of the road isn't clear for me just yet? One of the goodness of home is that (aside from the really good food and fresh air) you live only with the necessities, with things that really matter the most. It's like a gift without a wrapper, a flower without thorns, a face without make-up, a car without a stereo, a... you get the point. When you live only with the essentials, you tend to see things clearer.

I came up with this list on a whim, while I was idly using this netbook, looking for old stuff as usual. So here's me setting my goals in life, trying to have direction, to have a clearer view of the path I am taking... Of course these goals shall not narrow my mind and blind my intuition. This is only a guide.

In random order...

·         Grow old with the first and last and only and most important man in my life (everything in this list can go but not this one)
