Future Questions

Why do we ask each other what we want to do with our lives? What we see ourselves doing in 5 years? When we will get married? When we will have kids?

Every week, year, decade changes what we want to do and how we view to world, how are we supposed to know what we want to do from the get go?

Why do we not instead start asking what do you want to do for yourself before you die? A bigger and grander question but one that will lead to small and vast ideas that are important whatever your ultimate life shapes out to be.

Maybe if we asked what we wanted to do before we die our dreams would be more tangible and todays trials and ups and downs would feel worth it.

If I was asked what I want to do before I die the list is pretty long, here are a few ideas that spring to mind.

Before I die, I want to
- Crash a wedding
- Have a cold/snowy christmas
- Ice skate on a pond
- Spray paint startling and encouraging messages all over a city
- Skydive
- Solo burlesque performance
- Climb a/many mountain(s)
- Walk in the wilderness for 100 days
- Have everyone that I love and care about in one place
- To make a bottle wish tree in a public place
- To sculpt, paint, draw, create exactly what I am feeling in an visual way
- To be able to hold my breath for 3 minutes
- Live everyday as though I've already lived it so I can appreciate the small parts
- Gather everyone in a neighbourhood to celebrate my dogs bday
- Learn to play the cello
- Join a band

And many many more ideas will increase the list as my life continues.
