I think it's quite important to have a bucket list for your life. On it should be things that make your heart race, make you laugh, and things that could possibly make you hold your breath out of fear. It's these things that are so cool to us, yet we can't quite conjure up the right amount of courage to do them until the right moment comes along. I tend to just throw things on my list as if they're going out of style whether or not they're realistic. Some of the items aren't scary at all such as visiting every country in the world. Other items seem totally unreachable, like flying in a Blue Angel. While they may not all seem possible, it's nice to think that someday it will be and that I will have the opportunity to check everything off my list.

Although I should probably keep my list written down somewhere, I like to keep it locked away in the privacy and safety of my own mind. It's as if I don't want anyone to take my ideas or my whole list. While writing them down could help me remember more of them, at the rate I add things it would be somewhat pointless to keep a written list. I find that trying to remember all of the insane and crazy things that I need to do with my life is much easier because I can add so much more as I find new, exciting things. I have no need to ever cross anything off the list, I should rather be keeping a collection of the items that I have completed. Documentation is so important. When it comes to trying to remember things such as that, I am all over it. I think that the main reason we do certain things in life is for the memory of it. The bragging rights to say "yeah I did that!" Life is more fun and complicated that way...maybe even making it more livable.
