For Future Reference:

So, while out on a walk with my grandma I pondered the possibilities that the future holds. I have no job, no money, and no car, BUT I have modest plans. I want a cute little apartment in the quieter part of the city (San Francisco) with a view of the park...or just trees in general. There's something so serene about looking out and seeing trees... there's always life in them. They're alive themselves. I want a crawl-space where I can walk about in socks, control the temperature, and dance to the music that makes my toes wiggle and my head bop. I want a little Italian Greyhound to trot around the wood-panelled floor and sit all pointy on the L-shaped couch. I want floral wall paper that makes it seem like Spring every day, and a quaint kitchen with barely enough room for two. This is all for starters of course. It would be nice to live in a big ol' house with a trampoline and a huge stereo built into the ceiling, but for now I am contented and calmed by my modest plan. I think a rickety bike would suffice as transportation around the city. Once I'm a journalist, or the owner of a cute corner bakery, things will flow. I wont be able to pay all the bills at once, and will probably live off of top ramen and pizza crust for awhile, but it's exciting. My mom says that I should combine my future career aspiration and write a cookbook. I don't think so. ;) Either I'd like to write columns on local bands, street fairs, newly opened bars & restaurants, or things that comfort people in all the chaos that is the world. OR I'd like to run and work in a bakery that gets props for the pecan pie bars and chocolate chip cookies. All in all, it would pay for this apartment. I'd go out whenever I was invited by the people that I love, I would scrounge for change to pay for churros and shots. I would walk arm-in-arm with a guy that would make my heart throb in joy as we walked through the brisk air on our way with friends to somewhere. Life right now, because I'm still very young and very much just dipping my big toe in the world's swimming pool, is a little slow-paced. But these plans keep me afloat. Everything is cool beans.
