About Me (November 2022)
To know me is to know the things I DON’T want to do — my phucket list
Most people have a bucket list — a list of things they want to do before they die. But what about the opposite? I’ve noticed fellow writers on Medium post their un-bucket lists. For my November, “About Me” I made a list of all the things I DON’T want to do before I die. Making a list of the things I will never do was fun and challenging. This is my phucket list:
- Smoke (anything) — I’ve never smoked a cigarette or anything that causes carcinogens to enter my organ that controls my inhalation and exhalation. Cigarettes also cause lips to darken unattractively. Lung cancer can lead to an ugly death. Cigarette smoke makes your clothes smell horrible. Need I go on? I would never smoke, and I actively avoid passing by or through plums of smoke that other people emit.
- Camp in the wilderness — I’m a city girl and like my amenities, small batch bread, fancy restaurants and Vietnamese coffee. I’m happy to visit the wilderness, but I don’t want to sleep out there. The closest thing I do to camping is stay at a Holiday Inn Express.
- Ride a bull or run with one — I’m not that coordinated, and I have a healthy respect for large animals. In my imagination, I can see myself…
