Hey Pandas, What Is At The Top Of Your Bucket List?

Is it to change careers, learn a foreign language, travel, run a marathon, start a business, or lose weight?

How long has it been your goal, and what was your inspiration? Realistically, do you think you'll achieve it before "kicking the bucket?"

To transition. I live in a strict, transphobic, and Christian household (not that all Christians are bad). I'm a closeted trans masc, and I have a whole list of things I want to do. Cut my hair, maybe dye it a fun color, get new clothes, a binder, testosterone shots, name change, etc. I love my family, but I'm counting down the years until I can move out and be myself.

my best wishes! People are pretty accepting in this community besides a weird handful lol. I'd definitely recommend dying hair fun colors and experimenting with it. It's a great way to express yourself and I always get compliments when I change mine lol. When it gets hard remember that I'm a random internet person who supports you ❤️

I have recently been (late) diagnosed with ADHD - I’m a 47f.

I want to now learn how to retrain my brain to help me achieve all the things I have been ignoring/avoiding… simple things like,

Organisation, clutter, housework, eating properly and regularly, self worth, exercise, finally looking out for me… and not letting my head get in the way

My bucket list is pretty much only about traveling, as long as I still can. I'm having health issues which only will get worse so it might not be possible for very long time. But recently I went on several little one-day trips to see some airports because I'm a huge aviation lover and "devotee of airportism" 😉 (love hanging out at airports doing planespotting). Now I'd love to go to at least 2 places again after my memory card broke and I lost all good pics 💔 and to two or three more. Depending on my health conditions and if I can afford.

I have written a nonfiction book and am seeking an editor and a publisher. Always have somebody edit your manuscript! Others have suggested going the self-publishing route, and I do have that in consideration; however, I would like to find an established publisher. I have written to dozens, but so far gotten either crickets, no or maybe.

I have many. My number 1 priority is practising self care to keep my mental health strong till I can get therapy. I want to study well enough to go to Harvard and decide on my citizenship before getting my dream job to be a planetary scientist. My minor goal is to get at least 100 subscribers on my webcomic. I want to live a life that isn’t dull and boring but not too exciting either. Once half of these goals are achieved, I will be at peace with the world and myself

This is going to sound really cliched, but I really want to get married someday. I want to find someone to fall hopelessly in love with and live a nice life together. It won't be easy and I very well know that all relationships are a ton of work, but I miss that feeling. A lot. I have a lot of work I need to do for myself, first.

Dont skimp the recreation either, there are lots of kayaking, skiing, river rafting, hiking, swimmimg, ziplining, and other experiences that are very available im the park areas. Bryce canyon (Utah) has a very good stargazing attraction if you can hang out after dark, and yellowstone is huge, so dont just stop at old faithful.

I would love to have a veg garden and grow my own food. But I hate yard work with a passion, and the top soil in my yard is just dead. The area I'd like a garden in would need to be tilled with manure and leave fallow for a season to revive it. I've tried container gardening, but it's just to hot in Central Florida for container gardening.

To be healthy would be at the top of my list. My left knee went bad back in 2010 due to a mishap and I have had to use a cane when outside my home as time went on. I traveled a lot when I was in the Navy for 20 years and was stationed or visited several places like Italy , Japan, Germany, etc. and would love to revisit those places. I still remember standing on a side street, that tourists didn't walk, in Florence and watching the sun set over the Arno river or being on the back side path of the island in Capri. If I had to pick one particular place, it would be the place where I almost got assigned for 6 months, but my boss at the time changed his mind and sent me to Florida with him. That place would be Iceland. If it was a U.S. locale, it would be Monument Valley. That desert area has been the scene in some movies. The thing is I can't kneel down to tie my shoes anymore and so to walk long distances would be tiring. I should be greatful I can still work, and be semi-retired, but I watch travel shows and wonder if I could walk in that area. I would love to visit the areas I have been or want to see. Now to see them with my relatives would be a bonus. Renting a villa in the Tuscan countryside would be fun to do with them. I did travel alone a couple of months ago to see a Rammstein concert and did some walking around San Antonio. As long as I don't fall, I am "Aces" as they say. Being healthy to travel though would at the top of my bucket list. That is what is needed to have any special experiences.
