"No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.”- Chuck Palahnuik

I've been overwhelmed lately by the beautiful panic that comes with realizing that you only have 70 years if you're lucky. The wonderful push to try anything and everything because if you don't you might not get to. So, inspired in part by Hallie and Jodi's addiction to "The Buried Life" and in part because of an agreement I made with Sarah Wylie to experience all the excitement of life together, I have made this list.
