Bucket List: A list of things you want to do before you die.
I daydream too often and imagine myself in unpredictable situations to see how I would react. At some point, I became more realistic about such imaginations and unconsciously started compiling a list of things I’d like to do.
There are only two requirements for things to be added to my bucket list: they must be challenging based on my skillset, and they must make me feel excited every time I think about it.
I’ll continue adding more things that sound exciting and challenging.
As a result, similar to reading books, I’ll try finishing everything on my list, but it’s likely I never will. Still, it’s worthwhile documenting the ones I end up doing.
If an activity is crossed-off, that means I miraculously did it. Each crossed-off activity will be linked to a separate page that shares my pictures and experiences.
Here’s my list of things I want to do before I die.
