My Anti-Bucket List

Instead of a bucket list, why not make a list of things we don't want to do?

My Anti-Bucket List
wikipedia

Too many people live their lives trying to check boxes off their bucket list, while failing to 'go with the flow'. Having a bucket list leads to disappointment if you don't accomplish everything. So, I would rather have a list of things I don't want to do in my life, in hopes that I will be happier.

1. Stop doing what I love

Reading, writing, and volleyball are a few things I always want to be involved in.

2. Stop learning new things

Learning new things is always crucial, no matter what age you are and what you have experienced.

3. Get arrested

This just doesn't sound fun, adventure has its limits.

4. Run over an animal while driving

I'm too emotionally unstable to go through the pain of knowing I killed an innocent animal. I'm shuddering just thinking about it. *sobs*

5. Forget to have fun

My future profession might not give me much leeway during my school years, but I need to remember to make room for fun.

This list will continue to grow and change as I go through and experience life. Bucket lists are all good and dandy, but anti-bucket lists make you realize your true morals and needs in life.

However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
