There is nothing about this list that is unique or special. If you called it basic I would not be offended. I&#8217;d think you were rude but I wouldn&#8217;t be offended. Juggling geese while balancing on a motorcycle and gargling the national anthem is not my thing. If it is yours I applaud you. Seeing people having fun should be on my list.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I have done the trying to be cool thing. What no one tells you is that it is supremely boring. If you are trying to like someone else&#8217;s passion you start to atrophy. Experiment to find what makes you feel fizzy. Try skydiving, wine tasting, making your own yoghurt, fly free! Then do that a lot. Be happy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: black; color: white; text-decoration: none; padding: 4px 6px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Ubuntu, Roboto, Noto, 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.2; display: inline-block; border-radius: 3px;\" title=\"Download free do whatever you want high-resolution photos from Huyen Nguyen\" href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@huyennguyen?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=photographer-credit&amp;utm_content=creditBadge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; padding: 2px 3px;\">Huyen Nguyen<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A list!
