Looking back at my life so far, I have never really thought of making bucket lists as I never thought of their completion, turning it into regret. It may have also been because of the lack of stability in my life—from immigration to overly stretching myself out throughout secondary education. As I lay sick in bed writing this, however, I am glad to write about my very first bucket list as we do not really know when “tomorrow” will end.
The first item of my bucket list is to live a simple life in Japan working for companies that have given me countless stories, creativity, and ideals through the various games I grew up playing. I want to offer the same stories that helped me grow up to future generations. This is a dream that I insist on achieving as I currently go through my computer science education and personal Japanese studies for the past two years.
The next item is to create songs that convey emotions that others can relate to. I have always been attracted to songwriting and have even created various drafts and lyrics before. Even after learning various instruments and improving my voice, however, I still have not taken the leap of faith toward this dream, and I can only hope that I will sometime in the future.
The last item in my bucket list so far is being able to leave something for the generations after me—whether it is the aforementioned games and music or even just a better life for my children as my parents did before.
In the end, I want to live my life to the fullest—completing every goal and dream—so that I can pass on with a smile on my face, without a single wrinkle of regret.
