It’s no secret that I like lists. I can’t help it, I just love
them. There is something so rewarding about crossing things off a list after I’ve completed them that makes my heart sing like Aretha Franklin. I’ll be
honest, sometimes if I’ve started a list late and have already completed a
couple things prior to said list, I will still put them on there, just to cross
them off. I feel like I deserve that pat on the back, ya know? Anyways, I have
lists for everything…favorite songs, bands, movies, books, characters,
fictional couples, favorite words, etc. Honestly, the lists go on and on.
But something I’ve always had since I was a young teenager were “bucket lists”, especially travel lists. Since I was little girl, all I’ve ever wanted to do was travel and see the world, experience all the different cultures and take as many pictures as possible. I’ve always loved nature and architecture, so naturally they’re my favorite thing to photograph. I’m a dreamer. I always have been. So making lists of what I wanted out of life came naturally. They’ve changed over the years, not entirely, but they have adjusted as I’ve grown up or as interests have changed. But statistically speaking, we’re more likely to reach our goals if we A) write them down and B) tell someone else. So I guess I’m doing both. They used to be things I kept locked away in the trunk in my closet. But I guess this comes with the territory, after all, this ‘blog’ is something that was on a bucket list, so it only seems natural!
[This will only be snippets because I definitely have the longest bucket lists ever.]
