Bucket List

What is a bucket list for? Is it a reminder? A list of intentions? A collection of wishes? 

Usually the items on a bucket list are disruptive experiences that require planning. 

It feels a little funny when a friend does something that is on your list. You smile and say “wow, switzerland?.. I’ve always wanted to go there.” Is it true? Have you always wanted to go there? 

If it is true… where is the breakdown? It feels good to dream but it doesn’t feel good to watch others execute. It doesn’t feel good because it points to the gap. Your gap. The gap between the list in your mind and buying a plane ticket. 

Maybe a bucket list is a way to feel better about the gap. Perhaps it’s a container for your aspirations… So they can be organized and shelved. Shelved and set aside for some day. Some day before you kick the bucket.
