Wander this World

So 2 nights ago i did something that i didn't expect that i would do. i walked over 16 miles from my house to the corona del mar beach without stopping except for cros walks. why? well i go on walks because there the best way i know to think. you may also be asking why i do it at night. thats because to me after all the stores are closed, after everyone is bundled up inside sleeping, and the wind has calmed down because there aren't a lot of cars on the road... it is peaceful... you can walk for miles without interruptions. remember, i did.
anyways back to my walk. so as i walked i thought of a lot of things. Where will i be after this next year? who will i be with if anyone? will i still be as happy as i am now? will i have moved somewhere other than california?.... i mean these are all things that i thought about until i saw the sand beneath my feet. i looked up and saw that i had literally walked to the end of the earth just on my own thoughts. now i know that 16 miles isnt any big accomplishment for lets say a 100k runner but for me thats when i thought of something that i thought i wouldnt have to worry about till i started having a midlife crisis... i thought to myself "wow... how long did it take me to get here?" and then i realized that life is way to short. im turning 22 this year. if statistics are correct on how long a average living man lives in our generation then that means that i have already lived around 1/3 of my life up till now. i dont want to live anymore without doing things that i will regret not doing later in life. i started making the cliche "to do list before you die".. but mine arent to over the edge that i believe that they cant be done. some of them are pretty big orders but as i said there nothing over the top like finding the cure for cancer or something. and some of them are as small as learning how to cook a certain food.. they arent in any particular order and some of them are already checked off because they were goals that i had in the past that i think i should remember that i have done.. im going to put what i already have down on paper here so i dont lose it...
