my life list

So, I’m working on a life list. I hate the word bucket, so bucket list is definitely out of the question. These are things that I would like to do before I pass this life here on earth. Some of them may make sense, some of them may not. But, at the end of the day, it’s my Life List, so bite my crack. I suggest you make one. It’s pretty liberating, you either set yourself up to fail or you give yourself challenges to keep pushing forward to. Either way, it’s everything that you should want to do or have happen.
