As I wrap my head around how I am spending my time. I can stop but wonder if what I am doing it is the best thing I can do with the little amount of time that I got. It is pretty hard for ourselves to see if something was important for us when the only guidance that we have is the present and the now. It is also pretty easy to see that something did not have any meaning for us at all in retrospect. It's hard. Life is hard but we gotta make a decision. My decision to start this bucket list is to have something real and meaningful that I can look up to and be checking off stuff as I go about my life. Making it as easy as possible for me. This list is the culmination of weeks of work and thinking of what is truly meaningful for me.
This journey of mine was inspired by The Buried Life and When Breath Becomes Air. That does not mean it will end there, this list will continue to change and I will add more as I grow. My goal is to have 100 things on the list. So that means there is a lot of room for me to grow. Also, there are a few things that I might not want to do that badly in the future. Our lives are not a straight line, I see life as a radius that we need to be hyper-focused to grow as humans.
If the weigh of mortality does not grow lighter does it at least grows familiar?
If you could do only one thing from the list which one would it be?

Why this list?
This list is a combination of things that I have been wanting to do since I was a child, Teenager, and now also an adult. for some, I might be a young adult... I am 22. The things on the list that hold the most to me are from when I was a teenager 16 to 20. Probably because of a period in my life that I was experiencing a lot of changes. I graduated from college, moved to another country, got into a school in another country, and had to restart my whole life from the beginning.

To come up with my own bucket-list I came up with this way of forming a list.
It is based on my experience coming up with the list that is above. A good reminder is that most of the things that would bring you the most joy, you won't remember then right away. Take you time. You won't come up with 50 plus thing is just an hour.
To complete my list it took me over a week doing it bit by bit. So don't pressure yourself, and enjoy the process!
Steps that i took to get here. Enjoy!
- Write down everything that comes to your mind when you think of a bucket-list.
- Think of all the things that you wanted to do when you were a child. Write them down.
- Create different categories. It will make it easier to continue identifying what you want to do.
- Put on the list things that caught your interest.
- think of things that you would do if you were doing it alone.
- Think of things you would do if you had someone with you.
- look at the things that bring you happiness right now. See if you would do something different.
- Take your time
- Share your list with others.
- Remember that you can change your list. Add or delete as you grow and learn.
