The Bucket List

-
Found this article somewhere and I'm copying it to paste here.


Last year a man’s life came to an end.
As the man was lifted to the heavens, St. Peter met him at the pearly white gates and said, “You’ve been a good, honest man… so you’ve made the cut for Heaven.  And just so you know, Heaven is freaking sweet.  There’s everything you could hope for… all the food you want without gaining any weight, all the games you want to play and adventures you want to go on and awesome people to hang out with all day long.
There’s only one rule…”St Peter then points behind him to a shiny, red door with gold trim and says, “You must NOT go through that door… regardless of what the circumstances are.  NEVER go in there.  Okay?”
The man says, ‘Okay.’ And makes his way through the gates into heaven.
For the first month he’s having a blast… eating great food and hanging out with amazing people.  But after a few weeks… he gets curious.  “What could possibly be behind that door he wonders?”
Then one day… he found the door open.
He looked over his shoulders and no one was looking.. so he crept in.
When he gets inside he sees this MASSIVE warehouse of boxes that are stacked to the ceiling like a Costco building.  There are endless rows and rows and rows of them.   And as he’s walking down the rows, he noticed each box has a name attached to it.
His pace speeds up as he starts searching for where his own box is.  After 45 minutes of searching, he finds his box on the third shelf.  He reaches up to grab it and brings it down to the ground with him.
The man is standing over the box on the floor in front of him with anticipation… “What could possibly be in here!?!” he wonders.
All of the sudden, he feels a tap on his left shoulder…
It’s St. Peter.
St. Peter asks “What do you think you’re doing?  I asked you NOT to go in here.”
The man apologizes and says, “I’m so sorry… the door was open and I just couldn’t help myself.  And then I found my box and got so curious as to what it could be… would you mind telling me what’s in here?”
St. Peter quietly tells him, “What’s in that box is every experience you COULD have had on earth if you were only bold enough to ask for it.  Every relationship you could have built.  Every adventure you could have went on.  Every country you could have traveled to.  Every moment that you could have spent doing what you love.”
Therefore. I'm going to open that box alright. Hoping its going to be as tiny as possible. If possible, I'm gonna make it empty. Hence, My Bucket List.

I always intend to spend more time with my grandma. She is just the cutest thing. I could describe her but she wouldn't be happy about it. She hates being old, the wrinkles, the liver spots, the being slow, the white hair. She doesn't like us paying any attention to all that. But she loves us so. Every time I go to her house, she would try, oh so very hard, to give us money. I'll be like "No, popo, I have enough spending money, spend that money on yourself!" And she'll respond with "I'm so old, I don't need so much money, I get money from interest in the bank." She always thinks she's a bother, she walks really slow so she always feel like when she's out with us she slows us down. My Popo is one of the strongest and most incredible woman I know. She got married when she was 16. And her husband died when her youngest child of six was three. And she single-handedly raised all of them. She washed clothes for people, she sta

 Back at it again. Was looking through a list of free hobbies and some of those things on there are outrageous. Things like knitting and crocheting, reading, drawing, gardening Do these people even know how much these hobbies can cost? I knit and crochet pretty frequently. Sure, needles are pretty cheap, and they are a one time purchase. That'll run you, perhaps $30 to $40 for a full set. But yarn, yarn is fucking expensive. I spent over $100 bucks on yarn just to create a blanket. And it was one of those granny square crochet along blanket, just to learn how to crochet. Bitch, yarn is expensive. Especially when you want to create more elaborate designs, you'll have to buy like 50 colors. And it clutters the fuck out of your space. Cause most projects take like half a ball of yarn, and you're always left with weird colors, texture and weights of yarn that you bought specifically for a project and now you're stuck with it forever.  Reading. Sure, you can borrow books fro

 I don't know if I want more from you. But if you're not going to invest any emotions, I'm hesitant to invest any of mine. And I've been already holding them back. But it really feels like we're just going through the motions then. I did think about it more and I feel nothing a lot of the times but I'm also doing this thing where I'm amplifying your flaws in my head. It's really not healthy and I hate it. I don't know what a good way to deal with it would be like.  And I already feel like we're just going through the motions of being together, but it just feels like play pretend.  And if it's so okay with you that I'm going to leave. Then, I don't know why I'm wasting my time at all?  I want to be wanted.  And while there's no expectations, and I don't want there to be any, it kind of seems pointless to me to invest in this at all.  At the end of the day. I don't want to lose you.  Maybe I wouldn't feel this way at
