Bucket List (revised) 2012

We’ve all made bucket list, mentally or physically. We may even buy books about “1000 Places to Visit Before You Die” or do as many crazy things as possible if we are to live so short.

I made one when I was younger and the list went on and on and on. As time passed and I aged, I realized that I did many of the things on my list: read all of Jane Austen’s novel, become a designer, ride a horse, see a meteor shower, visit Paris, be kissed passionately, etc.

I realize as I’m heading into my third decade on Earth, I should start a new list so that I feel like I have some sort of purpose in life than slave away at work (not that I don’t love my career but I want more for me). I also learn to see how far my dreams can go and what’s realistic vs idealistic. Sometimes, I wish some people could see the difference.

Here’s the list. I’m sure I’ll be adding more to it!
