Bucket List

I started this blog and this bucket list in 2013. Back then, I didn’t know who I wanted to be nor what I wanted to do with my life. The goal wasn’t for this to serve as a checklist but rather, a reminder of how intentionally I’ve led my life.

I’m still figuring it out but fast forward 7 years, I still look to uphold this life motto: Be Genuine, Be Motivated, Be Healthy, Be Loving

Be Genuine

It’s important for me to be who I want to be without being intimidated. I want to discover more by doing more. Enjoy more. Regret less. Life is too short.
