Bucket List: Zane Johnston

 

I've never been fond of making bucket lists. I understand that many find them helpful and meaningful. To me, however, they seem stifling because I tend to change my mind frequently and like to adapt to whatever comes up. So, I keep my goals vague and more along the lines of something I'm trying to do continuously rather than something that I do once and am done with. I’d rather do that than cross items off a checklist. 

 

I want to be genuinely happy and help others be happy too. I believe my career goal of becoming a therapist would help me do this. Someday, I’d like to be financially stable enough to provide therapy pro bono to those who cannot afford it, especially children and teens. I can hardly imagine how much good that would do me, to provide for others. 

 

I don't know if I want to have kids of my own, but hope to make a positive impact on the next generations. I don't have any lofty financial goals for myself, but I hope to live somewhere where I can keep a garden, even a very small one. I'm more concerned with making sure I'm still fighting for what I believe in, and making some sort of positive difference in people's lives.

 

Above all, were it me looking back at myself my hope would be that I’d admire the life I led and that I was kind to everyone.
