- check if my brake lights were out
- get to the hospital if i passed out
- be noticed if i was missing
- cook intricate, high-yield recipes
- live on my own because i CHOOSE to, not because i HAVE to
- go out when i got lonely
- go to dinner without looking… pathetic
- fun things like road trips for no reason to go see someone’s random uncle in some random place
- talk
- move, because i’d have to move everything by myself.
- have surgery, because i would have to take care of myself
- have any fun without getting super super bored
- challenging things, different things, things out of my comfort zone
- laugh

This is obviously a very incomplete list, but since I’m faced with moving out into my own house, I’ve been thinking lately about how lucky I am to have friends and to be able to live on my own by CHOICE. Just sayin’. I hope all of you out there have friends you can rely on, too.

And just because this would be boring without a photo, and because Allison asked me to post this so she could steal it, here’s a picture of a lamp post in Paris, France.
