I was talking to a friend and I realized that in spite of my quest / interest in a thin identity, i have slowly accumulated lots of things that I dont want to do ... kind of ...ever in my life.
So I started writing it, trying to capture things that I have said at least once that "this is not me" I will not force again/ever myself to endure sth like that again... so I started writing and writing and writing to a rather embarassing length. Here how my reverse bucket list looks like:
I never want to do in my life
So after looking at it for a while I realize what should be me next challenge:
Instead of writing down a bucket list and making sure that I check some boxes every year... I should make it my goal to obliterate my reverse bucket list. And contrary to the bucket list where you suffice to do "swimming in the great barrier reef" exactly once - to clear your reverse bucket list - it takes more effort than that. You need to do karaoke more than a few times... til it is no longer a hateful experience - but it is something that you can enjoy...
Hm, maybe I should remove some of the items that are less about experiences and more about life choices from my reverse bucket list before I start....
