'Kicking the Bucket...'

       
Dying is inevitable. 
And this post has just gone quite deep…
But its true, you can pro-long it of course, (Eat your veggies and look both ways before crossing a road you guys), but it's going to happen. 
 
Sad vibes for a Saturday afternoon. Soz.
 
But knowing this isn’t bad. This “You do know you are going to peg it at some point right” info is good information to have. It give us the opportunity to live our lives to the fullest, create mega memories and have some pretty awesome shit to talk about at the Pearly Gates.
 
I think this is why I have always loved the idea of creating a Bucketlist as it puts everything you want to do, try, achieve out there. In beautiful black and white computer binary. This way there is no getting away from doing the things I want to before its too late.
 
So on this bleak Saturday afternoon(which with the tone of this post I just made 10% bleaker) I have started a bucket list. 
And you know what?
 
Its fun. 
 
It’s really fun. Creating a list of all the incredible places I want to visit, awesome things I want to try and things I want to see has really inspired me. Life is short, (and can be such a shitter), but if we can’t plan our own futures, well, what can we do?
