Rigel's MH Self Care Summer Bucket List

True, thanks. :redface:

(Also I left my phone in a random place which I cannot find, so if you happened to reply to my text, I may be a while until I reply. It's definitely somewhere!)

Ah no worries at all, though thanks for the heads up :colondollar:

Update!

This will probably be the final update I make as I think the winner will be picked soon.

I have almost fully completed my bucket list. I did much more than I expected to do. It was really helpful to do this, it motivated me to actually do things that I wouldn't otherwise do. As a result, I'm going to keep doing self care bucket lists for myself. :yep:

I thought I'd take a moment to talk about some of the activities I was not able to do. :sad:

- I didn't manage to go to a theme park, mostly because of financial reasons and also I did not have the time.
- I didn't bake a cake, mainly because I'm trying to be healthier. I did cook myself dinner a few times if that counts? :tongue:

- I have not had my tattoo done yet, but I have created a lot of ideas for it. The main issue is that a lot of my SH scars have not faded enough, and cannot currently be tattooed over. I thought they would've faded and healed more quickly :redface:

- I did not go bouldering because for several reasons I find it incredibly triggering.

So there were 4 activities I didn't manage to complete, but I did manage to complete 33 activities which I think is amazing :yep:

33 activities is a huge achievement :king1:

I think theme parks are overrated anyway. And cakes are fun to eat but not necessarily to bake (not saying this coz I can't bake. Obviously. Unbiased opinion :ninja:

)

Well done hun! :h:
