Life is short, we all know that. We all have goals, aspirations, adventures that we want to accomplish before we die. I’m no different. There are tons of things I want to do and see in my lifetime. I know that I won’t do all of them, maybe I won’t even get to do the majority of these things, but it gives me hope. My life list serves as a focus point for me when it feels like I’m not going anywhere in life. It gives me hope and gives me a sense of accountability. Maybe by writing them down and sharing it with you, I will be more likely to seek out these adventures rather than retreat to the introvert that I am.
So here it is, my Life List. It’s not a list set in stone, it has changed so many times but here it is now. I think I’ll actually attach this to my About page and come back to it every now and then to cross things off or add to it.
