The Bucket List

There are many dreams that I want to bring to life. What I did was create a bucket list to remind myself of the experiences I’d like to live through as I create them into my own realities. Once I complete each experience, I will cheerfully cross it off of my bucket list and make a post to help continue to write my life story.
