day 404:
there's a constant flurry of list-making going on in my head.....these are lists of things that i would love Limi to experience, to learn about life and to grow up believing in......constantly growing, these lists are are a collection of my own experiences....my own childhood,...things i've read....things i've learnt so far.......and things that i wish i had learnt soon.......

Experience:
