I don't know about you but I love a good bucket list. This list of words compiled together mean so much more than just a list. These words are goals, aspirations, these words are dreams.
Dreaming is such a beautiful thing. Isn't it?
My bucket list grows everyday. I still have so much more to learn about the world and when talking with others, I find something that needs to be added after almost every conversation. This world is inspiring me day by day and that is such a wonderful thing.
I encourage you to make your own list. This list can have just one thing on it but I promise you, it will grow. A bucket list is also encouraging you to write down the things you want to do and to hold yourself accountable for accomplishing some of them. I used to be terrified to write something down because I had serious doubts it would ever happen; it was just too out of the ordinary. I had to quit thinking like that because the only person who could hold me back from actually doing it was myself. If I can move my negative-nancy self aside, well, then hello I can take on the world. Right? Right.
So, here is my Bucket list. I'll probably hit publish after I am done typing and think of about 27 more things. There is just so much about this life to love, so never stop bucket-listing.
