Bucket list

So the other day my mother sent me an email with someone’s bucket list. It was an interesting list for sure, but not mine. So I decided to write down my ‘bucket list’. I try to live everyday of my life with vigor and zest. Every morning I wake up and ask myself “If I didn’t wake up this morning would I have been happy with the way I’ve lived my life up until now?” and if the answer is no, then I change until the answer is yes. Don’t tell me this is morbid. I don’t think death is a regretful thing. I think it’s a joyous transition, but every new beginning means that something has ended, and if it’s this life I don’t want to waste it. I don’t think it’s depressing to think about. I think it’s inspiring, a great motivation to live the most I can. Sometimes the weight of it is so pressing I almost go crazy but in a good way.
