10 X WHY
UN-BUCKETLISTING IS GOOD
FOR YOU
Hop, you run up that ridiculously high mountain and skinny dip in hell-blue waters of so-many-below-zero, because you also have to check that off in the box. It's on my bucket list, guys. Heremetiet, I get so stressed about that thing. This is why THE LIST can perfectly go through the shredder.
1. Imagine that you miss something in life; with my fear of missing out that's the horror. It causes stress, loads of stress. And then it just sits there on that list.
2. Lists are pretty awesome... At work, when you have to go to the supermarket, on a god-awfully busy Saturday. But that bucket list is just a to-do list, only grander. And you already have so much to do.
3. What about thinking and doing outside the box? With a bucket list, you're stuck in a bucket box. And then you miss all those mercilessly amazing exciting things because you have to climb the Himalayas. It's a thing, you know.
4. And what if you don't make it? Goodness, then you have an incomplete bucket list. Not that you notice, but still.
5. Is there a quota per year, by the way? That you at least tick off three things, because otherwise the year is one big bucket list deception? You end up enjoying that oil ball a lot less while washing it down with champagne.
6. I also find it difficult what to put on such a thing. Write a book (that still requires some work, huh), turn shipping containers into a house (trouble with permits), go like crazy to Iceland (but I also want to hang out with our loved ones in Dubai). That's what I say: tricky.
“This is why THE LIST can perfectly go through the shredder.”
7. And that's really too boring, because you also have to swim with sharks. I just saw a video, well, I will never in my sweet life swim with sharks. What if your bucket list is too sleep-inducing on a scale from one to terrifying? You're in for a treat.
8. If you do a round of TV from the couch, you see Bear Grylls and Obama in Alaska. I HAVE TO GO TO ALASKA. But do you put that at the top or bottom of that list? Because actually, I want to go to Alaska right now.
9. Extreme as that thing is, extreeeeeem. Jumping out of airplanes, living among bonobo monkeys, the most expensive Birkin on earth (you can dream, you know)... And actually, I'm happiest in those really weird, small moments.
10. A fuck-it list is probably more my genre. I want Doutzen's body. Fuck it, that will never happen. I should jump out of a plane. Fuck it, I'll only do that if there's a chance of crashing. Hey, nice this. I'm going to make a fuck-it list, that's what I'm going to do.
