started out with nothing

i think it used to be easier to write. at least for me, when i was younger. i never thought about what to write about really i'd just write about my day and it would turn into a really long incoherent tangent with no real purpose. but i love looking at those old journal entries where i would just write out my entire day. i mean even then i was lazy and probably never wrote as much as i should have.. who does? but i really would never have remembered any of what i read about in those entries if i hadnt written them down. lately its been bugging me that life has been too mundane to write about anything fascinating, but i'm curious now if maybe i should just write about the mundane things, write about my surroundings and how i'm feeling this exact moment and see if its as entertaining to read about a few years from now. maybe ill do one of those picture a day things but probably not thats way too much work.

today i had lunch with lachlan and afterwards we sat in the park and read the "50 things you never should have stopped doing" from cosmo magazine. it was the stupidest list ever i can make a better one. as a matter of fact i will.. i dont know if i can get to 50 though:

1. never stop reading the books you loved as a child
2. never stop singing in the shower
3. never stop enjoying the small things in life that are important to you. for me: aioli sauce and feta cheese, a nice breeze on a hot day and the feeling you get when you find money in places you werent expecting
4. never stop bubble baths
5. never stop playing with fire!
6. "sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down, just get back up when it knocks you down."
7. never should stop doing summer bonfires
8. or allnighters with friends
9. doing fireworks twice a year minimum or at the very least watch them
10. never stop talking to people you promise to keep in touch with. people who can make you laugh, people who challenge you to think, people you teach you how to live. they're hard to come by
11. never stop picking your nose, i'm serious. think of all the gross boogers that will stay there unless you pick them out
12. here are a few things you should never stop eating: roasted marshmellows, popcorn at the movies, cheese, hummus, cream cheese and bagels, spaghetti, lasagna, dumplings, indian curry, peanut butter and banana sandwiches, cheeseburgers, pizza, clam chowder, spiced chai, chocolate mousse, creme brulee
13. don't stop taking naps in the sun. or taking naps in the rain. napsss are great
14. stargazing
15. family game nights are awesome! if you dont live with your family do it with your roommates friends etc the homeless man on the street...
16. don't stop writing about the things that happen every day
17.  never stop dressing up for the sake of fun and being pretty.
18. never stop playing with puppies! they're the cutest
19. never stop playing in the snow at least once. if there's snow
20. i'm tired and can't think of anymore. never forget what it feels like to be young and have the world at your feet. never forget what it was/is like when life was a mystery, when there were things you were curious about. when there were things you thought you'd never experience. everything is always happening. never let that end.
