If I wrote down a hundred things,
That I thought that I could do,
By the time that I was 67,
Would there be another list,
Of 99 things that I missed,
Just because I had a fear of failing?
Would I have walked between two towers,
Just like the man on wire,
Even though he had a chance of falling.
Would I have opened up my soul,
And let inside that deep dark hole,
Another human being capable of calling me by ... ?
I wrote down a hundred things,
That I thought that I could do,
By the age of 19 years old.
There's another list,
Of just one thing that I missed,
All because I had a fear of failing.
One thing that I left,
Highly unadressed,
Without a line dividing up the letters.
If I ignored those little words,
I could never become hurt,
I could move on and do so much better.
I love this song - Man on Wire, Jose Vanders.
It's quite relevant to how I feel right now; like there's so many things I want to do, and am scared of not doing. So, I thought it would be nice to do a little project - a little thing on my Blogger.
Everyday (or as near to every day as I can) I'm going to write a 'thing I want to do' post, starting tomorrow, hopefully I will have thought of a better name than 'thing I want to do' by tomorrow.
Not things like, see the world; fall in love; blah blah blah. Things that are solid and doable and inspiring. I think.
Well, if you read them, yey!

Sounds like it'll be quite inspiring, I look forward to it.
