It’s only two weeks away!

Friday, December 18th, 2009

2009 has been the worst year of my life so far – isn’t it odd how refreshing a new year is? Why, when we cross the line into a new year, do we suddenly feel like we have a new chance at a fresh start? Or is that just me?

I’m really looking forward to 2010 – I just have a really good feeling about it. For a start, I’ll be starting my attempt at 200 goals in 10 years, I’ll also be starting the year in the company of my wonderful and amazing friends, and for the first time in years, next year I will be working full time. It’s daunting, but truly – I’m looking forward to 2010.

I have a really good feeling about it – and for the first time in years – I’m not saying that to try and give myself some hope. The feeling is genuine – it’s going to be a good year ♥

I bought the latest issue of Frankie Magazine today. I haven’t finished reading it, but I’m enjoying it thoroughly – I’ve never read a Frankie magazine before, and I’m really grateful to the other bloggers who read it and I’ve seen them mention it in their blogs. It’s difficult to find (at least as far out of the city as I am, anyway) so without seeing it’s mention throughout your beautiful blogs, I would never have known it existed.

Thank you ♥

I hope you all have a lovely weekend! It’s work for me, but I’m getting so excited because I’m going on holiday for a few weeks after Christmas. I’ll still be about if it’s possible, but I will be back if I can’t get the internet where I am.


So now an explanation is due

These hazy memories

So, I get the feeling some of you are scratching your heads right now and asking yourselves “Am I going insane, or did she just say that she was setting herself 200 goals?”. My friend Nick replied to my tweet about my new post with: “Goal 200: Stop spreading yourself too thin and focus on 2-3 things you absolutely love ;) ” so I now feel the need to explain the method in my madness. It’s not that much of a big deal really – but here is a little something about me you should probably know, in case you hadn’t already figured it out:

I’m lazy and lack direction.

200 Goals for 10 Years

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Somewhere out there, there is a meme for 100 goals in 3 years – some of my goals are so enormous though, that I decided to forget the tradition of the meme, and set my own list of ridiculous goals with a ridiculous timeline to fulfill them in. I hope you’ll all cheer for me, and remind me of this article by Ashley Lebedev about how to beat creative block when I get stuck and stumble.

As you may be able to tell, there are still plenty of goals for me to come up with – if you have any suggestions, please let me know. I figure though, that as the years roll by, I will probably have new ideas and goals that I will want to set myself anyway. To start with though, I do at least have over 100 goals – it’s a nice feeling. Achieving them will make me feel like I’m being productive!

I’ll strike them out as I achieve them starting from the 1st of January 2010, and I’ll add more as I think of them! ^-^

EDIT:
You know, I’ve had people tell me before that I’m crazy for always setting myself insane goals. Usually I just laugh. Never before today, have I ever had anyone tell me not to do it. I’ve in part explained in this post here, why it is that I do these things. I personally don’t feel that I should have to explain any further than that, but I’m still being discouraged. I know the person doesn’t mean ill by it, but it’s frustrating. There are still other reasons I do this, but a big one is that this is one of the things that helps me keep my depression and anxiety at bay: writing lists – organising my mind and what it is that I want in life. I’m someone who is timeless, so I need time frames for these lists. So this is just another one of my projects to keep my mind busy – discouraging it doesn’t help at all.

Sorry to have put this here, I hope my list makes you roll your eyes and laugh at my insanity.
