Some things have cropped up in my life and now I'm thinking about my own bucket list (things I want to do before I die) and I was wondering if anyone else here has a bucket list. If you do what's on yours?

I don't really know what I want to do. My mind is foggy can't think straight.

look. i know how it is. u can notice i didnt even do a proper thinkin on first post. ya, on a round myself right now. but it will end. others have before. believe me, i saw much bad s**t. i see it every time i close my eyes, and many a time when i dont. many a night and some of a day i badly want it all to stop, ya, permanently. but it passes and there is another light, and there is another dark. when the road is too long to follow, when the pain is too much to swallow, when it seems there is no tomorrow, just hold on. just carry on. come with me, i've traveled far. i know the way. let me show u. please.

Bucket lists are overrated.
My only regrets when I die will be that I wasn't a good person and I didn't spend enough time with my loved ones, so that is what I'm working on.

Nah I don't have a bucket list cause I don't really see the point. Just achieve things when you want to and don't wait until you're nearing the end of your life because then you have more pressing matters on your mind and probably won't get half the things you wanted done. Do things in the now so you don't regret missing them later on :D

I would like to travel abroad either in Europe or Japan.

Write one really good piece of fiction.

Try to learn a musical instrument or possibly even a synth more for personal enjoyment than accomplishment.

I already did the stuff I wanted to. Had sex, got high, traveled bit. What I would like to do now is live out my days somewhere better.

No because it appears that everything I have ever wanted to do, is totally out of question:

Breast reduction surgery
Military
Structural engineer
Family
Friend

However, on the street, I found a wallet with a bucket list

In a childs handwriting

It said, join military

Crossed off

It had a military id card

Long term goal success

My list doesn't fit in a bucket.

I prefer to call mine a life goal list. I want to attain the goals I should have attained between ages 25-30.

As for more fun things, I would like to attend a tennis tournament and travel.

You're 21 and you are already thinking in terms of bucket lists?

Do you have terminal cancer or something?

On the other hand, I'm 64, disabled, and married to a man with Alzeimer's disease. I have already given up on most of the things on my bucket list.

Make a point of seeing the Grand Canyon for me, will you?

I have a few things I would like to do in my life but I wouldn't say they're a bucket list. I like to think of them as things I'll do as in when I get the chance or want to do them. I've already done a few smallish things which were big to me.

(I got a job working as a laboratory technician.
(I overcame personal problems.
(I raised money for Alzheimer's Disease in 2014.

Not many so far but that might change in the next couple of years.

It's cancer. I found out this morning.

I hope you all get to do what you want to do. Thank you for sharing your lists and goals.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Your bucket list should have a few things that are achievable even with your health status. An example: I finally went to a Bruce Springsteen concert and a Neil Diamond concert. For me, with my health problems, that was more achievable than a trip to the Grand Canyon.

Try not to lose hope, because cancer treatment is continually changing and getting much better success rates. I had breast cancer, discovered early, and totally in remission now.
