So my actual 101 list should probably be the first thing I put on this blog. However, I am still working on revealing it to the world :) You see, I tend to be a very private person, even more than others realize. I have a lot that I share, but also a lot that I keep to myself. Therefore, saying "out loud" if you will and actually articulating these things is a little intimidating.
So what's the big deal? Why do I even care? Well my reasons are completely juvenile, but the following thoughts have crossed my head...
1) I don't want anyone to laugh at me!
This is probably the result of being around middle schoolers all day, but I don't want anyone to judge me or condescend. Yes, some things on my list are very silly but everything on there is important in some way or another to me. It's personal. Yes, some things are very common and a million people already have done or do them on a regular basis. I don't want these people to think they're above me or compare their life because they've already done half the things on my list.
2) Fear of Failure.
The obvious. Now that these are published for the world to see, what I am able to accomplish and therefore NOT accomplish, are also available for mass viewing. If I am unable to complete one of my goals, there it is...in plain print...still remaining on the list...constantly reminding me (and others) that I did not do it.
3) Bandwagon.
Ugh. I'm another person hopping on the 101 trend. I'm another person with a blog. I'm another person writing about myself. It all seems a bit narcissistic. I'm fully aware that my life is not as dramatic or important as these postings make it out to be :)
Nonetheless, I'm still going forward with this project. Readers, be kind!!!
