My f*ck it list

I read an excellent article the other day that really hit a note.  The premise of the article was the inverse of bucket list items, or to be blunt, the FUCK IT list.  The author detailed out the list of things he wanted to NEVER do again in order to stay authentic to himself and to avoid regrets about his life.  I've included the link to the article, the TedTalk embedded is quite funny as well!  I thought it would be a fun writing exercise to capture my own Fuck it list (man, this is just FUN to say!!!)  I urge you to consider writing your own!

I will NEVER AGAIN: 

• work after midnight.  Its weird how when I have done this in the past, I oddly want to eat whatever is lying around?  I could literally feel myself turning into a Gremlin... And I felt like shit the next two days.  No more.
• feel obligated to buy others gifts on specific days.  I'll buy gifts when I damned well feel like it.  The surprise is half the fun!  However... if you are cute, male, single, at least my age... I'll let you buy ME gifts on specific days ;o)
• watch my weight.  After so many years of battling this, I spent the past 2 years worrying that I'd fall off the bandwagon of good health.  But I think I can say this lesson has been learned and while I occasionally need to course-correct (curse you, tiny christmas cookies), I am content with my level of health and how I look.
• obsess about being 5 minutes late.  With as much as I try to cram into a day, its inevitable I'll be late to things.  I read recently that optimistic people tend to be late as they overestimate how much they can accomplish in their remaining amount of time.  The more I thought on this, the more I realized I now fall squarely into this category.  And quite honestly, I don't want to change.  So instead, I'll let the parties I'm meeting know ahead of time that our start time is a "window with a margin of error" and not stress about it.
• feel guilty about swearing.  I know I swear...  A lot.  However, swearing, for me, is just another set of words.  Ones that contain more emphasis than the standard lot.  And I utilize them as a stress decompression mechanism, letting off steam so I don't internally combust.  I find this is more socially acceptable than punching people and my words are rarely directed towards a person.  So consider this my pre-apology for the remaining curse words you will hear in my company.  Fuck is here to stay.  :oP
• feel guilty about not being perfect ~ a perfect mom, a perfect pet owner, a perfect <insert every other hat I wear>  hmm, there seems to be a lot of self-imposed guilt on this list.  I probably need to talk to my therapist about this?  :o)
• have Tinder one-nighters.  Similar sentiments to bullet 1, enough said.
• save vacation for the right time (this summer, next year, retirement, other).  There is never a right time past today, its the only day you are sure you have.  Don't ever forget that.
• compare my life to someone else's.  Nothing makes me feel crappier than when I do this.  In reality, no one's life is perfect and often its much more imperfect on the inside than we ever get to see.  So I won't dwell in what I don't have.  Instead I'll go create what I want.  

I could write a lot of things I don't ever want to do again...   Now here is to me holding my guns on this list!
