In the past I've made these kind of lists and they've been pretty unrealistic and unachievable. I don't know why I do that to myself - it's like self sabotage. I think the things on these lists should be challenging, but not impossible. So, this is my
realistic list for the following year. I feel excited about the things on this list.
1.
wear red lipstick every day.
2.
make a photo album - well, i started one!
3.
keep an art journal and fill it with good things - pregnancy journal.
4. record a song (and share it online).
5.
go back home to Newcastle, see old friends, spend quality time with family, get hitched! enjoy every moment. had a lovely, fun time & got to go back to Newcastle twice.
6. go roller skating.
7. put plans in place to leave the country (#1 get my passport, #2 pick a destination, #3 start saving).
8. make another zine and/or
get some postcards printed.
