Bucket List: Madeline Reynolds

 

Creating a bucket list is quite a difficult task for one such as myself. As someone who dislikes thinking about getting old, losing memory, eventually death, a bucket list seems like the exact thing to trigger anxiety for the next three weeks. Alas, I have to so I can pass, so I am going to center my list around things I can do long before I age out of the ability. 

 

To begin, I would like to complete my family tree on both sides. For the Reynolds side, this is easy, as the records are very well kept. My mother’s side, however, is obscure and confusing. I think it’s important to comprehend where you originate from. 

 

The second item on my list is to go sky diving. I am basically scared of everything, yet heights don’t scare me.

 

Third up on the list is to hold an Atlas moth. This one seems very out of place, I know, but to understand it you must understand me. I adore moths (favorite animal genus) and holding big moths is a dream of mine. I would have been an entomologist if it had paid more. 

 

My fourth item is to go mining. Another strange one, but once again it relates heavily to a strange obsession of mine. I love rocks. Not in the ‘crystal energies’ type of way, but the geology type of way. It amazes me how the Earth can just create these gorgeous structures. 

 

The final item on my list is quite possibly the most important one, but I would like to become an aunt. I don’t wish to have any kids of my own (if I change my mind I’d adopt instead), but I would love to spoil one of my sisters’ kids as the “cool aunt with the pool.”
