Bucket List/Future Goals/Things I Want To Do/Go/Be, Fun Fun etc.

I decided not to make a list. Because that gives people the wrong idea. It makes people think or assume this is in order or has priority. Nope. I just want to experience these things or do these things or these are my future goals. Things I want to have happen. Or I want to make happen. Or will happen if they are meant to happen. Well, some things have an order, but if you know me, some of those things won't be for a while. And that is fine with me.
