Everyone seems to have a bucket list, and apparently it's the thing to do these days. Y.O.L.O (You only live once) and all that. So I sat down and began to compile a list of all the things I wanted to achieve. I then threw that list out because they were all completely ridiculous, unattainable and cost a fortune. It was making me depressed just thinking about how I would never finish it.
I then started to think about all the things I had achieved and experienced. Without realising it I started to compile my already completed bucket list. Photo's and short stories reminding me of why and how I got the chance to do certain things and before long I became really motivated again and figured out that the smallest event was already part of a bucket list.
So with new motivation I began writing another list with more attainable goals on it. I think the first thing I wrote down was 'own diamonds' - sounds a bit far fetched for someone on a low wage doesn't it? One day I was browsing through a jewellers (as we womenfolk do) picking out engagement rings my imaginary boyfriend would propose to me with one day, when I saw they were having a sale....on diamond earrings! Yes, the diamonds are so small my 20/20 vision can just see them amongst the white gold but still they were diamonds. And I bought them and accidentally began completing things off my new bucket list.
I named this site "Buckets of Lists' because I don't have just one list. I have three. The list I constantly ad things to that I would like to achieve, the list I have completed, and the list that is secretly woven into the 'completed' list for when I achieve something I never thought of putting on the first list but still deserves to be recognised.
