Bucket List - Tumblr Posts
After today's biology class I'm tempted to spend hundreds on a microscope and spend my days just looking at protists
Maybe when I'm old and retire
i have a bucket list that I created purely and solely because I decided I needed one (so normal and neurotypical of me I know /j) and it's something I think everyone should do because
It's not even super crazy stuff!!!
Literally the first few entries are
consider getting a ferret
make a negative space stamp using an eraser
get a baseball bat (I do not play sports)
I plan on working through it as life happens but yeah!!! I think everyone should make one
i want to travel and see so many places in this world while i'm here
Bucket List - though it might finish me off
Amazing views from atop the Incline Trail in Manitou Springs Colorado! Photo credit to Phillip Reiter.
Yes please
Lapland, Finland
Looks like I may be off to see if a very old knight has a cup.
I must choose wisely.
Machu Picchu, Peru. Definitely on the Bucket List
Não escute o que eles dizem. Vá ver por você mesmo. (“Don’t listen to what they say. Go see.”)
My Bucket List
Only thing on it is to visit every zoo and aquarium in the United States.
The Bucket List
This post was inspired by this bucket list. Thank you to the extremely lovely @not_friends. I also stole a thing from her list. I didn't think she'd mind. I'm one of those people that needs goals. I need something to work towards. I know there are underlying issues behind it, but this isn't the place to go through it (...yet. Hahaha).
Anyway life is short and I want to experience everything the world has to offer. Yep, everything. Everything, everything, everything. But I'm realistic enough to know that I could live a thousand lifetimes and still not experience everything possible. So why not narrow it down to a list that of things that I would regret never doing?
Behold, my bucket list (in no particular order):
Buy a Hermes bag (The Kelly, maroon, alligator skin, silver fixtures)
Dance at the top of the Eiffel Tower at night while the lights are on
Go to Egypt and climb to the top of a pyramid, enjoy the view, then climb back down and not get caught
Learn the words to the national anthems of both of my countries
Drive an Aston Martin very fast on an open road and live my Bond girl fantasy
Accept and be at peace with myself
Wear an outfit that makes me feel beautiful
Meet my grandfather
See an NFL game live
See a football game in Europe or England
Dance at Mardi Gras
Write a book
Go to New York
Spend a day on a beach in Brazil without hyperventilating from anxiety
Commit to spending my life with someone worthy
Own a first edition of a classic novel, preferably a book of fairy tales or Les Liaisons dangereuse by Choderlos de Laclos but I'm open.
Buy a boat
Skydive
Celebrate Christmas Day and love every single moment of it
Go to Machu Picu
Writing this last was quite...illuminating? I realised that it's generally more important for me to feel something than it is to do something. If you know me then this insight probably explains quite a lot of my actions.
Yes, I want to own a Hermes bag. Is it silly? Quite possibly. But I've had that particular bag picked out since I was 12 and damnit, I will have it! It'll bring me so much happiness and accomplishment and I'll probably spend days stroking the material of the bag while crying silent tears of joy.
Others seem superficial, such as buying a boat. This actually harks back to a promise I made to my Dad. He loved being on the sea and living on seafood. He loved it more than anything and I was the only one of his children to inherit that. When I was very young and he was happy, we would joke about buying a boat and living on it. He's gone now, but the dream lives on. I'm getting that damn boat and I'm naming it in honour of my Dad.
If I die while doing any of these, I hope I go instantly and while doing numbers 5, 18 or 20. Let me go out on a high.
At the end of the day, these are the things I would regret never doing. Many of these I've dreamed of doing or having since I was a little girl. Some I've learned that I need to achieve or do in roder to feel like I've made use of this life. Others are on there because it would be a helluva rush and I'm always chasing that feeling.
Whatever happens, it should be a great ride.
