Goals 2019

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.



Christmas 2019

Had an amazing time back home.
















A lovely time with lovely people and lovely memories.
