For someone quite near and dear to me, I once made a greeting card that featured an assortment of things I would like to accomplish or experience in my lifetime. My natural OCD tendencies mean that while the greeting card is aesthetically appealing, I am compelled to put them in a list. I feel the need to be able to cross them off, or to be able to randomly skim through them, or attach them to the pages of my latest journal.
Without further ado…well, except to say that these are in no particular order.
