I am thinking about the idea of “live like you’re dying”. If I had a month left to live, and I knew it, this is what I would do.

1) Quit school and spend that time teaching younger kids
2) Go to Boston, sit on the street, and play music (hoping someone might join me)
3) Ask strangers to dance
4) Drive (far)
5) Drink a lot of water
6) Wake up every morning for the sunrise
7) Look at the stars every night
8) Sit around campfires with friends and strangers
9) Listen to good music and make playlists that describes a friendship and give them to the respective friends.
10) Do more service projects
11) Trespass on some cool places
12) Sit and read that book I haven’t had the time for
13) Give hugs to everyone
14) Write a movie script
15) Be completely honest with everyone
16) Put myself out there and take all the risks I do not feel like I can
17) a) Kiss someone I know, but only once.
17) b) Kiss someone I haven’t met yet, more than once
18) Sell everything I own except for my adventure hat(s), my favorite hoodie, my cameras, my snowboard, and a skateboard. [2020 update, sell everything but 3 outfits, my car, one film camera, one hat, one surfboard.] Then give all of that money to charity, and leave those remaining belongings to my closest friends. [2020 update: other than the one I keep, cam gets the surfboards] Each item would be given to the friend who has shared experiences with me centered around those objects, thus giving each object its true value.
19) Write a letter to everyone who I have hurt asking for forgiveness
20) Write a letter to everyone who has hurt me saying I forgive them
21) Write a song
22) Stop running from my past, and walk in the present
23) Spend a day completely alone, sipping tea in my favorite place
24) Walk to the woods with my favorite book sealed in a plastic bag. Leave it and hope someone discovers it and appreciates all of my notes and drawings on the pages
25) Get a tattoo of the name of everyone/anyone who has ever impacted my life so that they remain a part of me.
26) a) Meet a stranger and share my life story.
26) b) Listen to theirs
27) KPO
28) Hunt down 2 cans of the illusive Shaq cream soda, share one
29) Make sure every friend (and sibling, and sibling of my friends (who are also my friends) knows how much they mean to me
30) Listen to M83’s Hurry Up We’re Dreaming from start to finish
31) Delete all of my social media, and only accept phone calls.
32) Cry about something but not be sad about it
33) Give a high five
34) Swim in the ocean regardless of the temperature
35) Scream as loud as I can (Barbaric Yawp)
36) Pray with my thoughts, words, and actions 
37) Shoot a lot of film, but don’t develop it.
38) Spend every free moment with my friends
39) Sleep enough to fully enjoy the time that I am awake (experiences should be quality over quantity)
40) Exercise (Swim, bike, run, jump, dance, and ultimate frisbee)
41) Drink a lot of water Pt. 2 (Idk why this made the list twice but I’m totally feeling the drinking water thing)

I found making this list to be very relaxing, I recommend you make one. Maybe share it with someone!
