My Top 100 Dreams

My Sophomore year in high school (age 16-ish) I was challenged to write down my Top 100 dreams in a set amount of time. Let me tell you that once you get past like 40 you start running out of things that you would want. So when I came to this point I just started writing stuff down. Some of them got a little out there... I ran out of stuff that I wanted so some of them were more of "the person I wanted to become."

Happily enough, I have been able to accomplish quite a few of my previously unknown dreams as a result of making this list.

Truth be told, I didn't ever finish it but I still add to the list periodically and then when I accomplish anything, most of the time I have a picture or a post to go with it, so I post it here as proof to myself and anyone that cares that Dreams Come True.

So here -in no particular order- is a page detailing some of the less personal, more physical, sometimes outrageous dreams that made that list. Some have come true, some I have no more interest in, and the rest are what dive me forward today.
