THE list.

a list of things I want to do, inspired by beautiful people I don't even know. strangers. but not really. not anymore. :) 

  • cut out pink and red hearts, and put them all over town, to brighten up peoples valentines day!
  • Buy really fun coloured balloons, grab a stranger, give em a balloon and tell them to write an inhibition on it, and then let it go!
  • chalk my footprints down a main street!
  • leave little sticky notes in strange areas reminding people things we often forget!
  • play in some mud puddle!
  • give flowers to somebody who looks lovely!
  • take chalk and walk around and see shapes in the cement, and then draw what I see so others can see it!
  • grab a group of friends, go somewhere public and sing songs like " lean on me. and stand by me. and you are my sunshine."!
  • ask random "strangers" what they think beauty is. write it down, and then create a treasure hunt to find it!
  • make sunshine cupcakes for my friends to tell them how much I truly do love them!
  • Jump in a freezing cold pool!
  • go on a long bike ride, dressed in something that will make people smile!
  • make a colourful sign sharing with people how much I love them, and stand on boulevard holding it!
  • go on a romanticle date
  • tickle someone, till they just laugh and laugh and laugh!
  • have "strangers" write down their biggest wish, and then take a picture of them. after a day of this, make a book of dreams, and mail it to all the participants!
  • lay on my back all day and find animals in the clouds!
  • buy a yellow umbrella!
