I think I started my first “Life List” when I was 14 years-old, lying on my twin bed with its pastel coloured duvet. I was daydreaming about the future and all of the things that I wanted to do and experience. At that age I had been living in a small town for just over three years. Already at that point it felt tiny, and I wanted away from all of the things that’d you’d typically associate with small towns.
Perhaps I would have felt differently had I been born and raised there. But moving to a town of 3,200 plus people (at that time), many who had lived there all of their lives (and many that still do), I just felt like an outsider. I’d moved to new places a few times in the past, but they were all moderate size cities, and with other military families who I related to.
You can find my ever evolving Life List above, under the menu. I’ll cross things off as I go, and add new ones as I think of them. What about you? Do you have any Life Lists? I’m always open to new ideas and experiences.
