My Impossible List
Inspired by Jade of UnjadedJade, I decided to make an impossible list. It's basically just a bucket list but one that gets updated constantly and when you achieve something, you can extend that goal to keep improving and progressing. Hopefully, I will keep this updated. I have never created a bucket list or anything similar before so I had to really think over the things that one day in my life I would like to achieve. It was a great reflective exercise and helped me to see what I am actually progressing towards and what I had already achieved. For example, I hadn't even noticed that I have now been vegetarian for over a year.
