BEFORE I DIE I WANT TO...


First Day of Spring! I hope that from now on it will always be sunny :) 

Today, in the morning, I watched a tv show. Anchormen said that supposedly many people do checklists on the First Day of Spring and on New Year's Eve. A checklist? Everyone is writing their future plans, dreams and desires. 

Today is the day when we can do this- a big checklist, 
which will help us properly welcome these sunny days 
and remind us of the things that make our lives meaningful.
Let’s take a pen and piece of paper and start writing!

It instantly brings to mind the project of Candy Chang- "Before I Die I want to…".
Candy Chang wanted to know what was important for the people around her. So after receiving permission, she painted the side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood in New Orleans with chalkboard paint and stenciled it with a grid of the sentence "Before I die I want to _______." Anyone walking by could pick up a piece of chalk, and share their personal aspirations in public space :) 
She created this project  and now, thanks to passionate people around the world, over 450 "Before I Die walls" have been created in 30 languages and over 65 countries! 

So, maybe you will be a part of it?
