Could be outstanding, could be something you've already completed.

I like to break my goals down into a sort of ladder with the eventual goal at the top, but smaller achievements on the way. So to that end my bucket list includes such gems as:

  • Go out for a meal alone
  • Buy a fancy ice lolly without feeling guilty about it
  • Climb up the nearby hill without stopping for a break
  • Reach out to for a catchup
  • Finish reading the whole Discworld book series (I never did read the last one, iykyk)

Take a trip to Washington DC and stay there for a week. Just take in the museums.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

i could spend a week just at the library.

Sounds chill!

Living past 35, which IS not easy being trans.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

"Make it to 40th birthday" is also on my list so I can relate. We can do this!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

37 and non-conforming here. A good support network is worth its weight in gold!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

36 ans and stabbed 2years ago. LGBT "community" IS a joke. Trans women are alone.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shit, I’m cis but live in Texas. I’ll be thrilled if I make it to 40.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Imagine being black, a women, Muslim,disabled,or gay...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I can’t even imagine what other folks go through. I’m a white, straight, married, male, and I honestly have it tough. It pains me to know that, in the grand scheme of things, I have it easy.

[–] mercator_rejection 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can I ask why that is the case? I guess I hadn't heard that it was so difficult before

Stress levels effecting health and targeted violence are what I assume theyre talking about

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

absurdly high suicide rate doesn't help the average either

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Violence, hΓ’te evrywhere,no acess to housing or job?

On one hand this makes me sad for you, because snow is excellent. But on the other that does mean you live somewhere nice and warm, and as I sit here rolled up in my electric blanket it doesn't sound so bad.

I hope you get to not only see snow, but experience the satisfying cronch of frolicking in an unspoiled patch :D

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Go to the sauna and treat myself on a cold winter evening. But I have a bit of a cold, so I better wait a bit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm sick also, think that's why I've been looking at my list, as a way to live vicariously through Future Healthy Me. Plenty more cold winter evenings to come, anyway, there's no rush.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have a coupon that's valid 'til the end of the year ;-)

Edit: Get well...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Get enough of an emergency fund going that covers my rent and utilities for 6 months.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

One for everyone's list there I reckon. Good luck!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pay yourself first.

10% non-negotiable, right into a high interest savings account before anything else. if you can set it up to deposit automatically that's ideal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

High yield savings is a HUGE thing here! We live in great times for your money to make you more money while still being risky free.

See lava. I have a trip to Hawaii coming up :D

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Ooh that's a good one

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Careful though, the floor is lava

Watch all of Star Trek DS9

I've watched lots of Star Trek including some episodes of Deep Space 9 but never had the chance to see it all from beginning to end.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

You can do it, I believe in you!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Experience a picturesque white Christmas. This is coming from someone in California where it's Decembe 4th right now and 76 degrees. Never experienced snow.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

we have snow dude. like you don't have to leave the state. California is huge and it snows here

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Read the shepherds crown. It’s cathartic and while I’m sad the series ended it was the perfect note to end on.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone says the same thing. I am going to do it, just rereading some of the older ones that I've not had chance to in years and then I think it'll naturally go that way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok cool, I know some people refuse to read it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm just a coward. But that's why it's on the list :D

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Hard part is crossing it off your list after you're done.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Good sleep habits...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Learn how to make the pork belly bao I got at Covent garden, it taunts me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

USPSA C class or better.

I need to spend a lot more time dry firing and working on my draw.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have some really basic stuff like contacting aged family members before they die. I'm doing pretty badly at that one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pet a wolf (possibly a tame one at one of those American sanctuaries where you can pet a tame wolf)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Get busy! You could do all but one of those in a single day. Best of luck!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Shut off my damn phone after dinner.

I would be sleeping way better if I just shut it down.

But I am not biased, I am equally an asshole to myself as I am to others.

Relevant mene: Unrequited love

No, would just dilute the entire point of the bucket list.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The entire point of a bucket list is to have high-stakes unachievable goals?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not unachievable, but they should be pretty high-stakes.

OP's examples are more of a to-do list.
