How to lose yourself temporarily.

Remember all those lists you made throughout your whole life up to this point. All the ones about things you need to accomplish before you die, things your scared of, things your future husband needs to be, and things you'll never do. 
Burn them. 
Want to know why? Because the person that you were while you wrote those lists is now gone.
You decide if this is a good or bad thing.
Remember when you were younger. Remember all the mistakes you made at such an early age, but how completely innocent you still were. Think about the lists you made back then. Realize how completely happy you are that those lists don't exist anymore. Wonder where you would be right now if you had followed that path. 
Remember when you focused so much on becoming better. Wonder why those lists aren't appealing to you anymore.
Remember a few months ago, when you had to sit down and plan out your life. Wonder if any of those lists still apply now.
Sit and look at all the lists. 
Wonder where that person is now.
Wonder why you don't seem to exists anymore.
Write. 
Look for yourself in the words.
