Updated Bucket List

Over a year ago, I posted my bucket list on my other blog. I haven't looked at it much since I posted it. But because New Years has just passed, it made me think about my goals. So, I headed on over to that post and decided that this year, I'm going to do everything I can to actually cross something off of it. I'm not an extroverted or courageous person. Most of the time, I'm too nervous to try new things or do any of the things that I say that I want to do. But I decided that it's time to actually start living instead of existing.

While I was perusing my list, I noticed that there were a lot of things listed that I actually didn't want to do. I found myself laughing at it because those things were so out of character for me. I honestly don't know why I would even put them on my list in the first place. I also realized that since the last time I looked at my list, I had actually accomplished a few of them! It was such a relief to know that I did those things just because I wanted to and not because of some pressure that I put on myself because of my bucket list. 

I'm actually pretty proud of myself for going through with those things and I thought that it was important to update my progress, while also taking off the activities that I have no desire to do anymore. So without further adieu, here is my updated bucket list!
