Life To Do List

I've never liked the idea of a firm and solid "bucket list", because frankly, there's very little I feel I need to do before I die. That said, life is full of lots of little adventures, things that make it that much more special and complete having done them. Life isn't, and shouldn't, be about checking boxes. But it can be made up of special moments that show you made the most of your time on Earth.

Life a complex story. There's beautiful settings- gorgeous backdrops of places you could only dream of. Characters you come to love, travelling on a magnificent journey with you. There's plot twists you never saw coming, moments keeping you on your toes and in surprise as they happen. Side quests that live on as memories for ages. Laughter, tears, anguish, triumph. All of it comes alive in this beautiful and crazy thing we call life.

So instead of a proper bucket list, what I like to have is a "to-do list". Sometimes, you add and cross off easy things you've already done to make the list look more full. Sometimes, you add the impossible and pray you have the chance to make it happen. There's things I can do easily and simply haven't gone through the effort (or found the right time or person to do them with), things I have to work and train for, and things that may only happen in the most special of circumstances.

The most important part is that none of it is concrete: anything is subject to change, and with very few exceptions, none of it is absolutely crucial for me to accomplish to feel fulfilled. Because at the end of the day, it's not the destination that matters most- it's the journey.

So with all that said, feel free to take a look at the things I'd love to do someday.
