The Bucket List

Some people get old and find they haven’t accomplished what they want with their lives, I wont let that happen to me. I find myself making mental and physical lists of things I already have done, read or watched, so I’ve compiled them into lists, right now I consider it small. It’ll get bigger. I’ll add things for the rest of my life, and then I’ll cross them off and do them again, if Tumblr ever goes away, or I can’t use it anymore, then I’ll maintain the lists somewhere else. This is my promise to myself that I wont fail, I can’t fail. I’m determined not to realise my life wasn’t meaningful when it’s too late.
