My Unlimited Life | 100 Bucket List Ideas for Your Travel & Goals

It wasn’t long ago that I wondered to myself, are there things I want to do before I die? and could come up with only one. Around that time, I struggled in many ways; an abusive relationship and the overwhelming darkness that is depression.

It was surprising to me, even then, how little I could see past my current circumstances – how even if I thought really hard, I couldn’t come up with things I wanted out of life because I didn’t see these things as true possibilities. Almost like a barrier to the mind, I was stuck with the sense that it would never happen; I couldn’t even craft my wildest dreams; that is how far I was from myself.

It has taken a lot of growth, ups, downs, and lessons I didn’t want (but life seemed to want me to have) to get where I am today. Even now, things are not perfect – nothing ever really is, but after years of struggling, I have finally come to a place where I see past the barriers (most days).

To me, life is anything and everything you want it to be.

In light of that, I decided to reevaluate that 1-item bucket list from many years ago. So, this is my “unlimited life” – 100 things I would like to experience, eat, and in general, life goals I want to accomplish before I kick the bucket.

What would you do if the thought of money wasn’t a roadblock? If you didn’t care what people thought or how long it would take you to get it?

I hope that some of my list inspires you to create a list of your very own.
