When people are faced with death thoughts about how they have lived seem to fill their minds and consume them. At the point of death they think of what they would have wanted to do before dying. Some people choose to create bucket lists to prepare themselves for death and, thus, to avoid regret. The following list is my attempt at avoiding such regret, my bucket list.
First on my list would be to travel to Holland. That country is beautiful and has an amazing culture of which I have always dreamed of experiencing first hand. If Death takes me before I am able to go to Holland it would be a true tragedy. When I was younger I read the book Postcards from No Man's Land and have since been fascinated with Holland. It is my dream to follow the footsteps of the main character, Jacob Todd, and explore Amsterdam as he did.
Next on my list, though it is less important than my trip to Holland, is building a house. The idea of raising a house with my own two hands and really making it mine is a very appealing concept to me. I hope to one day turn my hard work into a place that I will truly enjoy.
Although the list could be longer, the third item on it to invent something used by people all over the world. Fame is sought by many and achieved by few. While some seek fame from their personal talents, I want my fame to stem from something I contributed to the world to make it better.
Experiences and personal interests of individuals make bucket lists truly unique. This short list is nothing in comparison to the total amount of things I would love to accomplish and do before I leave this world.
