The first thing I ever put on my bucket list was to swim in the devils pool at Victoria Falls in Zambia, when I was 12 years old. And after a horribly abusive relationship where I almost lost my life I did it!!!!! In November 2019 at the age of 35!!! It was one of the best moments of my life and an adventure I will never forget

Go on Pilgrimage again in Haifa, Israel. Go to Juno Beach France to the museum to visit and touch my dad's memorial brick, visit the African American Museum in Washington D.C., and people may think this odd and macabre, but visit Auswitzch (apologize if spelling incorrect.). Its the only way I can be a "witness".

I don't think it's inevitably macabre, quite the opposite. If you pay the proper respect and use the time to increase your awareness, visiting Auschwitz is a way to learn and know. You can increase your knowledge about it now at home and don't need to go there to be aware of the crimes committed, but sure it is usefull to see and "touch" the very places. At least for me sometimes it's strange to know that something like that has happened in a so recent time, and going there, seeing the museum, the photos, the personal effects, and all the peace of those places that just some decades ago were an hell it's very disturbing, but it's important for us to know.

I want to buy the place where I had some of my happiest childhood memories. I would spend a week there every summer. It wasn’t Disneyland, it was my grandparents farm. That was my magic kingdom. Grandma’s still there and she’s 90.
I might be able to pull it off. It would be a serious financial burden, but hey, my own magic kingdom. It would be worth it.

Be an astronaut, and get to set foot on another planet. Even if someone else already has. (Btw there is no wind on the moon so the prints last a long time). I want to say to my mom that I did it. I was born premature (1lbs 12 oz) and was bullied every day for a year.. and I want to say to my mom that I finally did it. I want to prove to the world that those who were knocked down can get up. They aren’t a lost cause. They aren’t worthless. I spent so much time thinking about how stupid and fat and worthless I was for 3 years. I don’t want anyone to make the same mistake I did. I want to prove to the world that the premature can be strong too. That girls aren’t your sex toy anymore, they are people and have dreams,ideas, feelings and a mind that isn’t all about getting to screw someone. (However, I am also going to say that males have feeling and ideas too. Most think males only want sex. Most men get flowers only when they die. Males have problems too,but in this time where females are actually being recognized, we’re forgetting about boys.) I want to advocate for people with anxiety, depression, and sensory processing problems, like me. I also want to advocate for people with autism and other mental health problems. Nobody should go through them alone. I want to be an Astronaut to see the stars and everything. I want to also advocate for the reasons I said above.

this was really sweet, but isn’t a bucket list supposed to mean things you do before you “kick the bucket”?

Yep. Live life to its fullest, tomorrow is never guaranteed

Tomorrow was, is and will never be guaranteed. Make every day the best day it can be. Bored? Go outside and draw with chalk, or if it's too cold, enjoy a nice cup of hot soup and a puzzle. Sad? Feel in the moment as you go cloudgazing or stargazing. Just be happy.
