The Holy Grail of Bucket Lists

Updated: Jul 8, 2022

⁉️ Do people even still do bucket lists anymore? Is this still a thing? Well, it is for me… now! 🙌🏻 👸🏻

By definition: The bucket list is defined as ‘‘a list of things that one has not done before, but wants to do before dying’’. It allows us to reflect on what matters most to us, our personal values, and identify important life milestones and experiences that we want to have. 🪣📝

Last month I was working with a patient advocacy company and they asked me, how are you living your best life with ITP? 😳 After a long (very long), blank stare… I quietly said, I’m not 😞 It actually made me feel really sad, the total opposite of what the question intended! My heart sunk a little bit. My face probably did something weird, showing disappointment. I got noticeably uncomfortable. I literally had a new lease on life and I’m not doing anything spectacular with it! What the fuck, Kristy?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

So it got me thinking… I’m not guaranteed to be healthy or well all the time soooo with the time I AM healthy and well, I really should make it count! 😬


So I started writing notes, jotting down ideas and this is where I insert my weird and random bucket list! 🤪🤷🏻‍♀️ I plan to add to this list as I think of things and I’ll come back and check things off as I fulfill them 🥰 This will be the holy grail of all bucket lists! Now please keep in mind, by nature… I’m not a risk taker, I’m a creature of habit and I’m not very adventurous. Nonetheless, here is what I have (in no particular order) Side note: I’m only 36, well 36 years and 11 months, so I have plenty of time to totally make these happen! 🤪
