A day will arrive unheralded and shall wipe our individual
existence eternally. Until the day, however, there are things in which I
foreknow I must accomplish. I have made it my objective to actively seek out
adventures and memories before the inevitable shall fall upon me. Live free as
a bird and die with no regrets, that is my philosophy.
The most
vital subject on my bucket list is something I will leave behind far after I am
gone. Leaving behind a legacy is my utmost importance of my bucket list. I do not
want to be someone who has a funeral and is only talked about by family
afterwards. No, I want to be more. Not only do I want my family members to
remember me as I was, but I want the whole nation to remember me for ages. I
want my life and death to be as timeless as time itself. After all, it’s not
what you take when you leave this world; it’s what you leave behind when you
go.
Another
subject on my bucket list is skydiving. When I ponder about what it would be
like jumping out of a helicopter and reaching maximum velocity, I conceive that
it would be the ultimate adrenaline rush. That would be something I would look
back on and remember for decades.
The final
subject on my bucket list is saving someone. I would like to be a hero, well at
least for a minute! Whether it’s in the law field or on the battle field,
saving someone’s life could definitely change mine!
If someone
asked, “What do you want to do before you die?” I will only respond with two
words, carpe diem. Why? In life,
seizing the day is what solely matters in the end.
