29

The last year of my 20s. This decade has brought many highs and lows. Some of the best times of my life as well as the darkest. I feel this overwhelming sense of pressure to make this year count. As my birthday falls exactly one month to the day of the official start of the new year, I always view January as a bit of a warm up period. My new year starts today. Here are just a few of my resolutions for my 29th year...

• Save money. 
• Enjoy the things I have. Purchase less.
• Simplify my wardrobe.
• Improve my career.
• Redecorate my space. 
• Travel as often as possible. 
• Strengthen my relationships.
• Be open to dating.
• Update this blog!
• Write. Write. Write.
• Eat less. Exercise more.
• Make a difference.
• Don't speak ill of others.
• Read more. 
• Practice my spirituality.
• Continue to learn new things.
• Have fun. 
• Love.
• Be courageous.

"For many of us, we set out thinking there will be time in the future and then suddenly we find ourselves at a moment when we have to acknowledge that the future isn't infinite. In our culture, we're able to remain young, or to think of ourselves as young, for a very long time- probably an amount of time unprecedented in history. And so, we can get well into our thirties, thinking that the future is all ahead of us, and there comes a realization at some point, that it isn't. And that's a realization that happens for people who are doing what they want to do as much as for people who haven't been able to."

Tumblr

I finally grasped the concept of tumblr and set up a page. I'll be sharing thoughts, inspirations, memories, favorites and more. Come tumble with me for a look inside my idealistic, romantic, dreamy, twisted mind.

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?"
-John Lennon 1940-1980
