  • Write at least one book
  • Become financially independent
  • Travel the world
  • Own a self-sustaining house near the sea
  • Have a room that is not wide, not high (so high that I can barely stand) but long with only one small entrance (you'll have to crawl through) with lots of pillows and nice acoustics
  • Have at least one child
