2019: Taco on the beach for Halloween |
Some goals I accomplished this year:
- Do 12 portrait photo shoots
- Listen to every Lady Gaga album
- 12 new albums by artists I don't know
- Build a computer
- Get a real estate agent
- Buy a new camera
- Watch the show Sabrina the Teenage Witch
- Go to 5 concerts
- Go skiing
- Visit an art gallery
- Work on a film set
Some that I didn't accomplish (generally speaking):
- I didn't e-mail people I should have as often as I could, or send letters as often as I could
- I had an event I was planning sort of fall apart. It was a failure, but not a big one!
- I didn't read very much philosophy this year...I think I spent more time learning about politics where I live, which was a kind of success of its own!
- I didn't get a professional accolade of any kind. This made me a bit sad because honestly I barely kept my job this year, and there will be some job instability for the next few years. I want to do things that show how I've grown and are recognized by my peer
- I got up at 5 am two out of three times, but couldn't manage to keep it up... I loved sleep too much this year!
Overall, I didn't accomplish as much as I wanted, partially because everything was put aside to search for a new job. Which was something to learn, which is I need to find new ways to balance things when things aren't great...I don't think this is something I really succeeded at this year.
But, I'm happier in the sense that I don't want 2019 to be repeated...I want 2020 to be where I make more positive memories, and work towards my bigger goals.
