Though many people will fill their bucket lists with
the pursuit of things or experiences, I can’t help but fill mine with my pursuit
of self. Vain, maybe, but I must live with myself until the day I die. I
should at least be an enjoyable person.
One thing I must do before I die is to attempt at
being a successful performer. This doesn’t mean becoming a megastar. All I ask is for enough to keep food on my table and clothes on my back without having a side job that
involves having dollar bills tucked into my skivvies.
I have always enjoyed reading and writing creatively
for fun. Because I enjoy the written word so much, I intend to publish a book
that is as relevant and persuasive as my favorites.
As a young girl who was not pleasing to the eyes, I
decided that if I could not be pleasing to look upon, I would make my words
(the humorous and the somber) comforting to others. Bringing a smile to others
never fails to remind me why I am here.
I also desire to get married to someone equally strange
and support him in every way as he supports me in turn. Love is not based on
looks, money, or even brutal honesty. It lies in solidarity, loyalty, and
passion.
Nerdy as though it may seem, I have always dreamed of
attending Graduate school. There is something about quietly challenging my mind
without bravado and applause that I find gratifying. Knowledge is only as
good as how it’s used, and instead of using my intelligence to bully as some
do, I intend to use it to bring light and truth to others.
All this I hope to achieve with my time on earth.
