I know this might sound a bit weird – but I think about the end of my life more than I should. I’m not scared of it or something, I just think about how I would feel about my life at that point – what would I be happy about, what would I like to change, who would I miss the most and stuff like that. I don’t want to regret anything, that’s for sure.
I’ve been creating a bucket list for quite some time now. Good thing is – I add stuff less often than I mark them done, so I guess I’m doing a good job 🙂
My list consists of things I bet are on most of the bucket lists anywhere. But, with few extra twists and ideas 🙂 Here is the list. I marked stuff I already did.
Skydiving – I did it for my 21th birthday (thank you, brother! ❤)Finish college – I actually did this twice. And soon, I’ll do it again.Get a tattoo – it’s a smiley face. 🙂 (already thinking of the next one ;))Get a henna tattoo – on my amazing trip to Latvia’s Give & Get festival- Visit all 7 continents (So far, I’ve visited Europe, Africa, Middle America and Asia – I crossed the bridge in Istanbul :D)
- Live abroad (If everything turns out the way I plan, I’ll be moving to Berlin in 2 years, woohoo!)
- Visit cherry festival in Japan
- Host a tea party (with cookies and stuff)

- Buy no clothes for a year (I’m working my way up to this with the Project 333)
- Do an action research (working on this one as we speak)
- Say “yes” to everything for one week (but tell no one I’m doing it :D)
Host a stranger (they’re not strangers anymore! :))- Go swimming on Christmas somewhere where it’s warm at that time of the year
- Wear high heels in New York (Sex & the City ruled my entire teenage life)

- Use only natural cosmetics (almost there!)
Meet my favorite theorist (Zygmunt Bauman <3)- Own a designer piece of clothing
- Own my own apartment
I believe that creating lists like this makes people more active in pursuing their goals. I take a look at mine every once in a while and ask myself “What are you doing to make all of this come true”. If the answer is “nothing”, I make sure that I make a move within the next five days. Just a little move, but in a right direction. Cause I don’t want to regret not living my life to the fullest. 🙂
Do we have any items in common? What would you add, what would you drop? Let me know in the comments! 😉
In the meantime, I’ll go work on scratching some more of these lines 🙂
