I just remembered reading this in the Indy earlier in the week and it's made me think about why I'm doing my 30 list and what I'm getting from it. I hadn't really questioned my motives, it was just about making the year fun and not because I was stressing about turning 30. But as I've done it, particularly the strip club (which no, I have not written about yet, not sure that one needs sharing haha!) it made me think that it is good to get some of these things out of my system so that I don't have regrets when I'm older about things I wish I'd done...I certainly don't want to turn into a certain you-know-who and behave like a teenager when I hit 50 because I resent the things I didn't get the chance to do. So it was just about living life to the full. But now I wonder whether that puts me into the narcissistic category of this article (haha the fact that I'm panicking and writing about whether I'm being narcissistic is probably what makes me narcissistic!!!) and if I'm not then I want to really be engaging with the world like this author says. I don't know. I'll re-read it. But it's definitely food for thought.
