26/365

One of my favourite teachers in high school told us something that I do not plan on forgetting any time soon. 

"Three things. Write a book, have a family, plant a tree. These are three things you should do in order to change the world. Not necessarily in that order."

Seriously? Write a book? Have a family? I mean, when I was 14 I wrote a New Year's Resolution that I would have my first book published at 17. However (and this is a huge however), I did not know that writing a book would be staggeringly hard. I mean, if you want to write a well-written book, you don't just write, you think about it for a long, long time. Unlike some writers out there.. *ehem* SMeyer *ehem*

..okay, I don't hate SMeyer. Too much. Okay, maybe I really don't.

Also, have a family?

Have a family?

Have a family? Me?

I'll just go somewhere and plant 3 trees hoping it would compensate..
