We do our best to reply to all of the emails sent to us but sometimes its hard to get every single one. This one came in May 5th and slipped through the cracks, I’m glad we caught it..

I was sitting in my Economics class, when my teacher whipped out a magazine with The Buried Life on the cover. With this weird smiled glued on his face, he asked us casually ” What do you guys want to do before you die”. Me being the class clown replied

” Who cares we’re all like 17 or 18 only old dying people ask themselves that”. But seeing as I’m emailing you guys now, I did give this question alot of thought, enough thought to write my own list down. This is what I would like to do :

1. Actually walk a mile in someone elses shoes.
2. Free a not-guilty prisoner from a maxium security prison [aided by the law that is]
3. See a Native Amercian family eating at a fast-food restaurant.
4. Write an anonymous love letter to the boy of my dreams
5. Camp out in the grand canyon
6. Stop wearing big sweaters all the time, even in the summer.
7. Join a tribe
8. Name 2 major streets
9. Give a random speech in front of at least 1,000 people
10. Roll down a long hill.

Thanks for sharing your list Vanessa and more importantly, thank you for giving the question some thought. Truth is, we don’t know what’s around the corner.

If you want to share your list with the world, post it HERE on our The Buried Life network. The first step is writing it down.

Carpe Diem -TBL
