The Introduction | 100 bucket list

Hi! Welcome to my blog!
This idea all began when I purchased this 100 bucket list book, which is a set that includes a lovely illustrated fill-it-yourself book, some washi tapes, and colorful pens. I'm a sucker for cute stationery so this got me weak.
You see, I've always been great at planning and starting things, but I suck at following through them 'till the end. I created this blog in the hopes of keeping myself accountable and also, to have a record of all of my journey, my research, and my experience as I tackle each item on the list.
For those of you who are wondering, a bucket list is a list that you create. You write down things that you want to do before you "kick the bucket" (i.e. die), hence the term "bucket list".
I understand that most things in life take time and achieving what you wanna do before you run out of breath isn't an exception. With this in mind, I'll do my best to be patient and accomplish each item on the list as best as I can.
The book includes a bucket list index, where you jot down all the things that you want to do in your life, and the entire book is dedicated to each item on your list and how you managed to accomplish them.
I think this is such a cute idea and I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to finally do something and see through it till the end.
Why are you creating this? Are you going to die soon?
In movies, you always see how the main character is suffering from a terminal illness and the whole film is basically a documentary on how they manage to cross off their bucket list and make every minute of their existence amazing and worthwhile.
I think you really don't have to be dying of anything to be conscious of the smallness of your life compared to the vastness and timelessness of this earth.
How long would you take to complete this list?
Well.... It would take the rest of my life. I'm a 21 year old college drop out who decided to start her own businesses (both online and physical), and I'm still working hard to get my businesses to grow.
Having been born to a family that's in the middle of the economic scale, I'm doing what I can to scrape off some money, provide jobs for people, and achieve my goals with my own effort.
So, I created this blog. For myself, for you, and for the countless others who want to do something great in their life but have no way of knowing where to start.
I hope that what I do would provide some insight for you as well, as you continue on your own life journey.
What would your posts be about?
For each item on my list, I would be writing down at least ten posts related to that particular goal: how I plan to do it, how much it will take, what I did to get the funds for that trip, where I stayed, what activities I did, how I made the best of it, and what advice I would give to others who plan to do the same thing.
What are your goals?
My goals not only include places that I want to discover and visit, but it also includes financial and physical milestones for me. I want to see how far I can stretch and grow myself into becoming the kind of woman that my younger self could have looked up to.
Later on, I'll post a link here that leads you to the page where I would post all of my bucket list (all 100 of them). Until then, stay tuned!
