Today, while chatting with my best friend, and perusing Wikipedia at random, I found out that one of my favorite classical pieces, Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No.2, was composed when Frederic Chopin was only 20 years old. That got me thinking: I just turned 20 years old; how amazing would that be if I could accomplish something even half that epic? So I decided to make a goal for myself: in the remaining 11 months of my 20th year, I want to do at least one thing that I can be truly proud of. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not on a quest for vanity and pride, or looking to make myself look important, but rather, I am looking to start trying. At the moment, there is little more to my life than being a barista. I'm definitely looking to change that. I'd like to do something that will make my life, and hopefully the lives of those around me, even a little bit better. Now, I don't as of yet have really ANY clue as to what I'll be doing to accomplish that goal, but I feel it's best to leave the guidelines broad. I figure even if you're shooting in the dark, if you shoot enough places, you'll eventually hit something. So here goes: here's to making the world a more epic place, one random thing at a time.
