so in lieu of new years resolutions I always try to come up with my own version, which often resembles a to do list. But I think from now on I'm just going to create a things to remember in the new year, because resolutions are too much of a commitment for myself. So here goes:
things to remember in 2015:
i. don't soak in the bath of anger or sadness for too long, instead of letting my fingers get pruned, I will write a letter to the feeling, to the day, or the person that jumpstarted these feelings and of course hold on to it instead of mailing it by accident.
ii. treat myself by buying something at a thrift store / charity shop, and taking frequent baths, and listening to a full record with copious amounts of peppermint tea after i finish a big assignment or project.
iii. stretch any time of the day / especially with the sunrise and nightfall, because my bones will thank me later.
iv. journal so much. make it an assignment or goal to finish a journal per month filled to the brim with / collages / pictures / poems / musings / questions / facts / sketches / people watching stories / comics / nature / found objects / playlists / letters / daily things i'm proud of / anything else.
v. read more books / my goal is 60 but we'll see. (also non - fiction books are pretty cool too)
vi. work harder in school, the key is getting started.
vii. learn how to make comics / bind zines / make mini pom pom necklaces
viii. trash the idea of writers block. the key to creating is just doing it. i want to let my work suck. and just write down whatever comes to mind / a stream of consciousness. because if i work no matter if i'm really not feeling like it, i can find my grit. i just have to keep on doing it. there are stories inside me that are begging me to come out on some paper.
viv. make and publish a pen pal zine
x. don't be so hard on myself. messing up and making mistakes are allowed and a necessary part of becoming myself.
