I'm having one of those days where I just want to do everything possible during my lifetime. I want it all.

I want to travel everywhere and I want to settle down. Single forever. Have a big family. Save the whales. Be a teacher. A farmer. A fisher. An artist. Bike across the US. Bike around Copenhagen. Sail to Patagonia. Bike back. Climb mountains. Plant a garden. Climb El Cap. Be a logger. Be a tree-sitter. Play music in a traveling stage-trailer transformation. Be a zookeeper. A baker. A surgeon. Learn to dance like Robyn. Have a dog. Dogs. Have a pig. Lots of chickens. Don't live in the suburbs. Live in a city. Live in the mountains. Live by the coast. Live in a tent. Live in a commune. Live in a farmhouse. Live alone. Live with 30 other people. 5 other people. Learn my family history. Learn history of blacks in America. Listen to the blues. Love the blues. Learn the stories of the Greeks. Know history of the LGBT community. Read a Hilary Clinton book. Do that Master's Cleanse thing. Write letters. Bake Apricot Butterhorns. Play in an orchestra. Go to the ballet. Know the names of trees. And birds.

I think I could do it all. I get overwhelmed because I'm afraid I'll forget and my life will pass by me without me noticing that I never did what I wanted to do.
