I am someone who genuinely LOVES to try new things and experience all that life has to offer. We as humans are truly overwhelmed with all that God has given us. I love to dream and imagine the things that I want out of life, especially in times of isolation. I mean we are only here once... it's not fun to be sad, angry or annoyed! Why waste your time that way?
While on a plane ride a few months ago, I thought that it could be fun to come up with a Bucket List. Thinking about completing these activities (maybe even some with the potential woman of my dreams) has me super exhilarated to the point of euphoria.
I think that we should all create a tangible list like this that we can look at in times of distress. Hopes and dreams truly do keep a person going through times of discouragement! It's super fun to be anxious about something! Additionally, we are always told to set goals.. so why not create a Bucket List?
While I may not complete all of these by the time I say goodbye to this wonderful world, these are the endeavors I hope to have exposed myself to by the time I die:

The longer we can remain simple in thought, the more relaxed we will be! Don't let the perils of everyday life (work, school, etc.) get to you. Life is about LIVING, not just existing. Make your mark on the lives of those around you!
