Bucket time

You know what time it is?

Bucket time!

You probably heard about this concept: a bucket list. 

If you haven’t, it’s a list you make for yourself (or copy from the internet) containing all the things you want to do before a certain time; e.g. before you’re becoming an adult (not applicable to yours truly), before  getting married, before spawning children, before you reach the age of 30-40, before you’re getting too old for this shit.
So there is a deadline, but it isn’t yet in the nearby future, allowing you to take your time to achieve some great dreams.

Following this theory: “I have to buy double glazed windows before the next time I shave my legs,” is NOT a good item for your bucket list (and again not applicable to yours truly).

Now, why would you start a bucket list (if you haven’t already)?

Well, life is short. We are capable of so many things, we have so many dreams that are realizable if you just put your mind to it. Listing those dreams down , offers a  solid first step in getting those them realized.  One of the next steps is telling other people what you have in mind, gain their support, and maybe even a helping hand. 
Imagine how amazing would it be if you actually achieve one of those accomplishments.

A second rule of bucket listing, is to never erase any entry of your list. Because it doesn’t mean that when  your dream seems stupid or infantile at the moment, that it can’t or won’t be achieved in a later stage. Besides, nothing feels so satisfying as to mark an entry on that list as ‘achieved’.

I already had the honor of marking much of my entries. But there are some that are still open. Don’t worry,  I won’t share all of them with you. Let’s just give you a glimpse, who knows you can help me with it.

The main reason I do this, is to inspire you to do the same. Heck, I fucking challenge you to do it.
feel free to put your list in the comments section, perhaps I can even throw in a few tips.
