I replaced my goal list with an adventure list

9 posts in this topic

It's basically an alphabetical list of things that I've never done before. I think this is way more exciting than a goal list. The word ''goal'' has a bunch of negative associations in my mind. I associate it with seriousness, drudgery, shoulding. But the word adventure I associate that with playfulness, newness and excitement. Most people would call this a bucket list but that sounds unsexy to me. I think word choice matters.

I prefer A Get To Do List instead of a list of things that Must be done. 

Love the process

We get to do the laundry :)

Wasn't expecting that haha. But hey, I'll try to stay open minded ?

Lol most of the time it grosses me out but I would do that if she's cute. Maybe add some lemon or honey to it.

is it about the law of unattraction again? i‘m wondering if that‘ll happen for you? how cute does she have to be, is a photograph enough?

also never eat jellyfish or it might happen.
