Assignment #18 - Wes Davis - Does Anybody Have a Map?

I'm not one to set goals for myself. I know that sounds ridiculous, especially since I spend most of my life either living in the past our the future. I don't think about a lot of goals for myself because usually I'm not present enough to act on them. Despite this, I've tried my best to assemble a list of goals that I want to achieve with these milestones. I've kept it general. The easier to achieve, the better, right? Actually, some of these are incredibly difficult, despite my sweeping generalities.

High School bucket list:

• Maintain some sense of sanity
• Just survive lol
• Maintain a GPA above 3.5
• Heal

My biggest goal of High School is to just get through it. I know that sounds disappointing and not at all exciting, but I'm painfully aware of how insignificant High School is in one's life. I'm just trying to move on to the next big thing. Once again, I'm just flaunting my lack of presentness in the now but High School hasn't given me a lot. Yes, I've learned a lot and am a completely different person from when I first entered the walls of Henry Clay. That much is true. However, I know I'll grow the most and blossom into the true person I am once I'm out of High School. That much is just the truth. High School is just another hurdle keeping me from bigger and better things. 

College bucket list:

• Become comfortable with myself
• Engage in activism (in moderation, activism is more taxing than it seems on the outside)
• Figure out where my life is headed

Figuring out where my life is headed and becoming comfortable with myself are tied for the most important goal of my college years. One thing I find quite funny is how much time I spend dreaming about my future, yet how little I know about it. I know I'll be lost in college, but I know eventually I'll find my map. As long as I figure out where my passions lie and accept the person I'm becoming, I'll be golden. :)

Life bucket list:

• Do what makes you the most happy in that moment. 
• Pursue what you want to pursue, no matter what others may think.
• Die happy
• Live long enough to see queer people accepted across the globe

Queer liberation is something I am determined to see before I "peace out!" from here. I hope I can spend the last 3/4th's of my life happy, healthy, and thriving. All I want is to eventually find inner peace and happiness. Hopefully I will. No - I know I will. <3
