I want

A list of things I want to do, in order to remind myself that, no matter how shitty things seem...I need to keep trying to press forward.  Even if pressing forward seems like an arduous and borderline impossible task, at times.  By no means is this list complete, and they might seem incredibly far away, but they will help me to keep looking to the future.  Most of them are nothing big, but they'll still get me through, in their own way. 

- I want to earn my PhD.

- I want to watch Steph get married. 

- I want to see Joanna graduate.  From both high school and college.
