Maybe you already have a bucket list or maybe you've never thought of having one, either way, these are ten things that everyone should do before they die. If you are young, old, any gender, or any kind of human, you can do it! These are things that show us what living life is really about. Experience life, live life, and cherish life.
1. Go Skydiving
I am afraid of heights, but I still think that everyone should experience the freedom of falling out of the sky. Nothing but the rush of the wind and the caress of the air. Is it scary? Yes, but the things that scare us the most are usually well worth doing. Go learn to fly.
2. Save a Life
You do not have to be a doctor to save a life. Talk to someone who looks like they could use a friend. Ask that person what you can do for them. Usually, simply being a good person and offering help to others does more good than you will ever know.
3. Travel to Another Country
It can be within the same continent or on the other side of the world, but go and experience different cultures, languages, art, and people. Be a citizen of the world and pop the bubble of existing only within your home country.
4. See a Play on Broadway
Everyone should see at least one professional theatre production. Stage acting dates back to Shakespeare and is one of the first art forms of humans. Theatre has a magical quality that captivates viewers.
5. Read "To Kill A Mockingbird"
Harper Lee's classic first novel tells the story of a little girl growing up in the segregated south. Not only is it an entertaining story, it also narrates the prejudice and ignorance surrounding racism and segregation.
6. Learn to Play an Instrument
Piano, guitar, or even the didgeridoo. Learning an instrument can be done by anyone, it just takes dedication and practice. The ability to read and create music is a joy that all humans should know.
7. Learn to Speak Another Language
Learning to speak another language makes you a culturally aware and culturally appreciative person. It is also helpful in communication with others.
8. Know the Unconditional Love of an Animal
Anyone who has ever had a pet has known the unconditional and undying love of an animal. They never judge, are always forgiving, and still love you no matter what. Every child should know what it is like to have a furry best friend.
9. Be with the Person You Love
Be with the human you love. No matter who they are or where they come from, love them, be with them...grow with them. Everyone should have that life changing, awe inspiring love.
10. Find the Thing You are Passionate About
Whether it is knitting or world peace, find something that not only occupies your time, but also your heart. Find a hobby or a cause that inspires you to create...to create change, inspiration, or passion.
