Depending on how long you have known me online, you should remember the Bucket List I created in 2017 with 100 things I wanted to do within 3 years! The crazy part is, I did them (with the exception of only a few)! I recently looked back at the list and I was in complete awe — like, I was so ambitious, so driven and literally let nothing get in the way of accomplishing all those things. Here I am now, creating another one. Well, it’s been in the works for a few months now, that’s why some things are already ticked off; I am just officially launching it to the world in hopes that it holds me accountable.

I have rounded up yet another list of ONE HUNDRED things to do but this time, I will give myself 5 years — only because these are pretty heavy. I am outchea talking about ‘Have 10 stamps in my passport’, ‘Reach a credit score of 800’ and ‘Sponsor a child’s education for at least a year‘. Girl, what?? First of all, I can barely sponsor my own meals for a week!

Okay, fvck it — I am here for the challenge. What I absolutely loved about doing this last time is that I had something to look forward to every single time, it was my will to live (which I have been struggling so much with finding these last couple of years tbh). I also loved how everyone around me was aware of the Bucket List and would pick activities to do with me to tick them off their list.

Aaaaaand, the moment I have been waiting for is almost here — I am almost 30! With that said, this is quite literally the perfect time to launch this Bucket List because another challenge of mine will be to do ‘30 (things) before 30’! Eek, the pressure is on but I am excited!

Well, here we go… Like I did before, I will be taking you on the journey with me, posting on social media and updating with photos and videos. All updates will be on the ‘Bucket List 2.0‘ page. And feel free to draw inspiration from this — make your own Bucket List, join in on the fun. Let’s make life worth living, we are choosing to be here anyway so we might as well make the most out of it because life isn’t fun by default. If you chill, you will literally just get continuously jumped — straight misery I tell you.

I have been in a point in my life when I hit rock bottom and soon found out that rock bottom has a basement. Lol everything that could’ve gone wrong in my life went wrong every time for years back to back. But you just wake up one day and decide to stand up for yourself by finding pockets of joy in every day — reasons to smile, reasons to be here a little longer. And it all starts with being intentional with the way we live, the way we choose to live.

Control your thoughts, you can’t control much else really. Meditate regularly (life-changing!) and always remember that everything happens exactly when and how it’s supposed to so just focus on chasing your joys and filling your life up with incredible memories, everything will fall into place.

Also, these are in no particular order because I also do not want to feel pressure to do them in order, I will just pick and choose whatever feels right in that moment…
