The Impossible List

This is my Impossible List. It’s not just about checking off events—it’s about the brutal grind and more about the person you become along the way. I’m tearing through it, crossing off each challenge as I demolish it, and adding even more every time I find a new way to push my limits. I’ll be updating the battlefield regularly, so check back here often to see how everything is progressing. But I’m nowhere near finished—every time I hit what seems like my breaking point, I smash through it and chase down the next impossible thing. It’s not about stopping; it’s about never settling, never backing down.
