Imported Bubbly: 200 before 30 (Update Jan 3, 2020)

It's ridiculous but I've been alive for 21 years.

I feel like there is so much I would like to accomplish

yet I never have the time or energy to do it.

I was on the phone the other day with a dear friend from high school

he expressed how with everything he has accomplished,

he doesn't know if he ever contributed to the world.

I always say I am still young and ready to take the world by storm

but. a few weekends ago, I was doing what 'old' people do

attending weddings, and experiencing death.

One of my acquaintances from university has unfortunately passed away

(RIP Hugo)

and it got me thinking,

if I were to get into an accident tomorrow,

would I be happy with what I've done in my life?

So this is my bucket list. Before I am thirty, I want to accomplish these things.

I want to give myself a deadline to do things with my life

200 things averages out to around 25 a year for 9 years.

I can do it.

86/200
