The Meaning of Life

So -

Why a bucket list? Here's the thing: I've been through a lot the past couple of years, well, a lot for a nineteen year old living in the 21st century. It's taken me a long time to realize what I want from my life. I used to be that girl who had her wedding planned out with her current boyfriend, her career planned out to the T, I knew where I was going to school, what I was going to major in, how long it was going to take me to graduate, etc. I was prepared to take on the world after I graduated high school. That changed however, when my boyfriend of three years broke my heart.

I will tell you the inspiration for my bucket list. It represents something much bigger than a list of things I want to do before I do. It represents how I want to live my life: constantly reaching for something bigger. I used to be afraid to stray off the beaten path, to try something different than I had planned for, but I'm not afraid now. I used my heartbreak, and strength from Jesus to pursue something larger than wallowing after my break up. I wanted to become a bigger person.

Therefore, my bucket list! I will forever reach for something more. I'm determined to keep adding things to this list, to be happy in exploring new things that I didn't originally plan on. I hope to do great things with my life, even if it means going outside of my comfort zone.
