# My Life Goals
-Last updated 2023-11-05
+Last updated 2024-08-25
-My life sucks. That's why I constantly think about dying. Don't worry,
-I won't do it *right* now, but it's a prudent act to list out all the
-things I want to try before I do. And when I've tried them, I cross them
-out.
-
-These may be unrealistic but I don't give an imaginary shit. I might
-remove some if I please. I might, at one point, go "screw it" and abandon
-the list altogether. Future Me is unpredictable.
+Or alternatively titled "Things To Do Before I Die".
There's some cross-referencing among the items, so I've added labels in
__boldface__ and/or dependencies (dep) in parentheses where necessary.
