Small Dreams I Carry Quietly

To be honest, I am not the bucket list type of guy; I just like to do things according to my plan and how it flows. But at some point in my life, I have sat in the corner of my room thinking about some things I wish and hope to do if God wills it. They are just for me to have experience before somebody becomes old so fast.
I am not the lousy type of guy, so what I wish in the bucket list are not those noisy types of people who post on their social media. Mine is just something very simple yet very meaningful at the same time.

The first on my list is to travel, not necessarily out of my country, because I have heard of some resorts here in some states where the life over there seems very slow, calm, and relaxed. Or maybe somewhere near the clean water or hills where everything is perfectly peaceful and away from all this city noise. Because almost all my life, I have been in the city where I hear the sound of passersby, bikes and car horns, noise here and there, people fighting, and daily hustle. Sometimes I have imagined waking up to the sounds of birds singing, a cool breeze, and the rustling of trees blowing some fresh air, with nobody to disturb me. To be honest, I need that, and with the way I look at it, it is something that shifts my attention away from deadlines and survival to breathing again.

The second on my list would be to build something meaningful online that really matters and that a lot of people can use, most especially to their own advantage. I have really envisioned doing this. I have not really thought of anything, but I know when I am ready, it will come naturally to me. Even though some people have created things online and it has failed, I still want to give myself a try someday and build something that would give the people freedom and honesty and shape my generation and the future generations.

Though I have started this third one, it has not met my expectations and satisfaction. So the third on my list would be to improve more on learning to live without always being concerned about what people expect from me. Because if some people can relate to this, people are always expectant, be it family, friends, or church; the pressure can be too much sometimes, and it can make someone do things that are not expected to be done normally, and sometimes, one can even lose his identity. Though I have started that, I need to put in more effort because if I am not who I want myself to be and I am walking under pressure, there won't be inner peace for me.

I know some people might be saying these are not a perfect bucket list plan, but to me, they are in the way I like them and in the direction I have in mind.

Thank you for reading.
