So this is a
bit off topic but a few years ago I wrote a bucket list of 30 things that I
really wanted to do before I turned 30. Not in-depth stuff mind you, just fun
things I wanted to try and do. Reading through them my first thought was, who
wrote this?
Now I did write the list in conjunction with a friend so there is
her influence throughout, but as I was reading it I realised how much
difference a couple of years really makes. How much a person’s views can
change, their ideals, their goals in life, everything. I don’t know whether
it’s the transition from your 20’s to your 30’s, or just the very simple fact
that I met the love of my life and the person I want in my future.
So, can one
person really have so much of an impact on your life? From reading that list,
the simple answer is yes!
Now, instead
of planning parties and trips away with the girls, I’m now planning a future
wedding (hasn't asked me yet though ;)) and babies and houses and grown up things.
When you’re single you only have yourself to worry about, you can do as you
please whenever you like and there is nothing wrong with that. Introduce one
person into that equation though and everything changes.
I know that this is
something most of you already know and are thinking that I’m really slow, but
when you haven’t met that person and have been single for most of your 20’s,
you just don’t realise how much you
change.
If I wrote that list now, vodka watermelons would be replaced with
having a baby and full moon parties would be replaced with a romantic weekend
away or taking my nieces and nephews and (future) step son to a water park. In
fact, I think I might rewrite it now. 35 things before 35 maybe?
What would
change in your list?
