I wish I had kept my first made list ever, as there are things on there I know I&#8217;ve done (such as get a tattoo &#8211; I have 2 &#8211; fly a plane, things in NYC), but looking at the list now, it&#8217;s not too me anymore. So I have a new, revised list, which I&#8217;ll actually work on and keep updated!</h6>
