As per every year, August is time for Resolutions! Here is a comparison from last year:
Now to move on the Resolutions of being 25!
OMG I'M GOING TO BE 25 IN 3 DAYS! To be honest, it doesn't really scare me that I'm half way to 30. I've come pretty far since then. I've been through a lot and I've experienced a lot of life. I'm thankful for what I have lived thus far:
1. I've had the most amazing influential grandmother til the age of 16. I wish I could have had her longer to guide me into adult life. But even though she's been gone, she's always been around for me.
2. I got to be a ballerina for 18 years! Who gets to say that? Not just anyone.
3. I've made the most amazing friends that I call family.
4. I've moved around and got to visit amazing places that's shaped my life as it is today.
5. I've was FINALLY diagnosed with my illness! Sounds crazy to be happy about that, but it's nice knowing rather than guessing.
6. I've developed a very sophisticated taste for music...I like to thank many people for that...YOU know you are! ;)
7. I got to go to college for art. It's cool but not needed.
8. And well, I'm still alive. Which is good.
Now to resolutions:
In the past it's been all about paying off loans and medical bills, traveling and careers. They were good things to wanted to accomplish. But I think this year it'll be different. I need a bit self therapy. Though looking back at last year, I've paid all my medical bills off! WOOOO!!! I've dabbled myself back into a career regarding art. I'm gonna stay here from now on, in the artsy world. And I have finally moved out of PA! To an unforeseen state, but it's New York STATE! How can I complain?
1. Self Love
This means many things. No more being mean to myself. Working on the self esteem and happiness with in myself. I'm even going to create a memory jar to put a note of confidence in each day. I have to write how I'm feeling each day and place it into that jar. And by next year I can open it and see how well I've done.
2. Engage
Engaging in reading more often. Engaging in music. Engaging in the world around me. No more being attached to a phone or technology. (I've failed to let that habit get to me in the last few years. And I've never been that kind of person before). Here's to getting back to me.
3. Truth
As in the Moulin Rouge, uphold truth. And out of truth comes, beauty, freedom and love. Being true to oneself, to another and life. If there is truth then there will be happiness in oneself.
