I tend to live in my head a lot, I have thought of bucket lists and all that whether they be huge types of things or really simple ones. What I keep coming back to is I don't care one way or the other if I do them or not, I don't mean that to sound depressing as such as I don't feel at all depressed about it. I think it just means that I haven't found something that I really want to do yet. I also have a problem where whenever I have achieved something I haven't felt any great sense of fulfillment anyway, so I think that also plays a part, it seems a lot of hard work to get that anti climatic feeling!
Damn, Monkee we must have been separated at birth. I feel the exact same way, about not caring one way or the other. Most all of it falls back on something I was pursuing (career-wise) and it didn't happen...I've mentioned it in a couple of past posts...since then, I just don't really care and really don't feel I will regret it when I'm in my 60-70s. Will say this, I have experience quite a bit of the ones others have mentioned, so again that's partially why I don't seem to care. I know, I sound like a Debbie Downer, but actually I have had a decent life.
Due to what I've just mentioned don't take it that I'm sitting idly by. I actually have several projects I"m working on that I hope to see fulfilled by the end of the year (I plan on posting them in the Express yourself section)...building a fishing pontoon (should be done by next week), a MAME arcade, an electric guitar and small amp...those two have been put on the back burner. But like you Monkee, I'll probably not feel a great amount of fulfillment when I'm done with my projects (been there, done that)...except the fishing pontoon, as that will be used every weekend.
