Impossible journey

Hello, world!

       If I say it is impossible to do that, that will become an invincible task? A lot of people these days tend to make plenty of various lists. From house chores list to summer bucket list and list goes on and on. But if it is written, it doesn't mean that it will be done at some point in the future, am I right? About a year ago I found out about Impossible list from Thomas Frank's website College Info Geek. This list's name intrigued me, I thought what can be so impossible about it? I decided to learn more about this topic. And just like that I got hooked up...

       Impossible list is not just a list of goals and tasks. This list requires actions, because you do not just write "workout more", you write comprehensive tasks, for example "run 7 km for 30 days everyday". Impossible list challenges you, because you put those goals in it, which you really want to achieve, but you think that you will not be able to do them in your lifetime. This list makes you take action instantly. A lot of people to even challenge themselves more put their Impossible lists on their websites (just like Thomas Frank or the world's first impossible list creator Joel Runyon). I thought about this idea for a long time and I finally realised that I have to give it a try. So here it is my Impossible list.

Half empty or half full?

Hello, world!

Hello, it's me
       This is a bit weird to say "hello" to the computer screen. But this is not my first time trying blogging, so I can say for sure that it will get better after awhile. HELLO! Even this time I felt more confident and overall better. Enough my rambling. Shall we start?
       Why I decided to try blogging one more time? Well, I really enjoyed those other times. So it helped. Also I want to improve my English skills and I am finally older and confident enough to share my thoughts and ideas on the internet. I want to track my overall progress too. I believe that this blog will help to do that if I put enough effort.
       So you ask who is the chick that is writing this? Well, my name is Kamilė and I am 16 years old. I live in Lithuania. The country known for very religious people, who like to eat kebabs, zeppelins, and also travel (permanently). We, lithuanians, believe in basketball, and pray very passionately, when our basketball team is playing. Also we love our nature and animals, especially kittens and potatoes. As I mentioned in my previous sentence, we admire our landscape, but we do not avoid travelling. We really like to see other corners of the world and even settle in those corners, create families there. We are really open-minded and hospitable human beings. Lithuanians love other languages. Sometimes even more than our own. Therefore I can call myself a true lithuanian. I am kind, friendly, funny, smart and creative. I like plying with musical instruments (piano and accordion) and listening to the music. I like dancesport, zumba, riding a bicycle, animals, languages acting, writing, reading books and watching films, television series as well. I think that the best television series there is to watch is "Game of Thrones". To this day I really enjoy reading and watching Harry Potter books and movies. I could talk for hours about myself, but then there will not be any mystery, will there?
       Half empty or half full? I choose half empty. According to the internet I am pessimist because of my selection, but I highly doubt it. First of all, I am realist. Secondly, people change. Thirdly, how two words can define someone? Half empty, because there is always a deaper meaning and a hidden thought between the lines. Because it is better to be half empty than half full. And lastly, because it sounds refreshing, especially in Lithuanian - "pusiau tuščia".
       So that is all for now. Thank you very much for your attention! What do you choose - half empty or half full - and why?


Best wishes,
Kamilė
