my good friend charlotte makes lists for all things
i adopted this habit myself and i now can’t live without my to do list
but its so much more than a to do list
i have a list of creative endeavors i wish to achieve one day
a list of places i want to go to in the city
a list of upcoming events
a list of things i need to buy
a list of things i want to remember to tell someone
the list goes on
not just to do’s, but those too! i keep running lists of things. Like, “things my bestie somehow doesn’t know about“ and “things i like about my partner“ and “this would make a good gift“
i always come back to my lists, and i am always delighted by what i find
pen on paper
not only is it nice to thoughtfully consider and prioritize your plans in the morning,
but it’s so satisfying to declare a task done by checking a box.
this is my list,
begging to be filled out
and checked off.
i make one at least once a day, grocery, people i like, clothes i want not need, pastries i like, good coffee shops, etc. (this is a list too! wow! look how easy)
if i was a muppet i would be bert from sesame street
he has a unibrow and i also have a unibrow
i also relate to the fact that he’s a loyal friend✊
my best friend sophia and i like to say that we are bert and ernie👩❤️👩
