The Bucket List

1. Help out at a retirement home and hear an old persons account of love
2. Buy someone a drink who looks like they’re having a rough day
3. Hear someone else’s life story
4. Go to the beach and watch the sunset
5. Leave an inspirational quote in a diner
6. Get kissed on top of a Ferris wheel.
7. Sing in front of an audience
8. Go camping
9. Have a sleepover party
10. Sleep under the stars
11. Go to a different city I’ve never been before
12. Tell someone my life story, warts and all.
13. Draw on a wall
14. Go to a concert
15. Have a food fight
16. Get a tattoo
17. Have a 24 hour movie marathon
18. Steal a mug from a coffee shop
19. Tell everyone I’m dying
20. Accept that I’m dying

It all started with a list. That was the reason the two of us got closer, the reason why all the lines blurred, and feelings started to develop.

He showed me a different outlook on life; he showed me a different side to him. But most importantly, he showed me a different side to me, a better side to me.

To say that summer changed my life would be an understatement; it completely moulded me into a different person.

A completely new Grace.
