[my wants and needs]

to find more time for myself, to find more time for my friends, to get back in control and back on a more disciplined schedule, to love myself more, to accept compliments more easily, to make things happen, to make people happy, to comfort and console and shower people with love, to save money, to splurge sometimes, to travel, to see more theatre, to perform more theatre, to go more places that necessitate fancy shoes and pretty dresses, to learn the banjo, to forgive myself more easily, to stop feeling guilty, to buy a new camera, to take a leap, to take another leap, to print more pictures, to go to my favorite museums more often, to rent a convertible and drive around in thelma-and-louise style, to walk on the beach, to learn to run, to do yoga, to renew my passport, to paint the walls something fresh and calm, to drink more and eat less, to paint rocks, to send packages, to write more, to dance more, to listen more, to be present more
