Welcome, welcome.
It seems you've stumbled into my side blog,created solely for the purpose of achieving my goals and emerging as a brand new person in the fall. I will document my progress here, as I find that I achieve things quicker and my motivation lasts longer this way.

What are my goals?
I divide my goals into 5 categories, which will also be used as tags under posts talking about those specific goals:
🤎 self care
📜 intelligence
🧸 money
🍂 transformation (in other words, making my body healthy)
💡 creativity
How will I measure them?
I, like many others, will keep track of my goals using the SMART technique. Meaning:
S - Specific. This means the goal must be specific in what it wants to achieve, rather than being a vague statement.
M - Measurable. This means that measurable qualities must be included in the goal, for example, "I will read 12 books."
A - Achievable. Make sure your goal is realistic! "I want to be a billionaire by next week" isn't very realistic, now, is it?
R - Relevant. Why does this goal matter to you? Can it help you with other facets in your life?
T - Time-bound. The goal must have a somewhat specific time by which it must be achieved. "By September 5th, 2026, I will be able to run for 30 minutes straight."
About me and where I'm starting from!
You can call me Bouki! I am 15, a girl, and would describe myself as very nerdy and passionate about my interests. I could harp on and on about them, but that's not the purpose of this blog XD! Alas, I'm turning 16, and I'm just not pleased with where my life is right now. I gained a lot of stress weight this year due to the transition from middle school to high school and the stress it brought, and it seems that it caused multiple other issues with my life, like a chain of dominoes. It started with me feeling bad about myself, then self-isolating, then, worst of all, neglecting the creative hobbies I used to find solace in. There's a lot of work to do. But I believe in myself, and that's the very foundation of this all, isn't it?
Why does this all matter to me?
It is so easy to say, "Oh, I'm gonna change by doing this and this and this." But it's harder to actually commit to what you say. I feel like documenting my progress on Tumblr will help me look back at my growth and also hopefully help others! I guess this blog serves as proof that I tried, and proof that my effort (hopefully) helped me in the long run, especially on bad days.
The type of posts you'll see...
Goal declarations: a new SMART goal with a full breakdown, with the category it belongs to put in the hashtags, as well as the goal number in that specific category. For example: #🤎 self care, #🤎 self care goal 1 Progress updates: how a specific goal is going, with the category it belongs to in hashtags, and which goal specifically it's updating. Example same as above! Resource sharing: If I find that certain resources have helped me achieve my goals, I'll share them so that they can help others! Will be posted under #bouki's helping resources Weekly check ins/journal entries: a check-in with the progress of all of my goals throughout the week, as well as my feelings and events that may have prompted change. #bouki's week Reflection posts: like the weekly check ins, but on a smaller scale. It'll talk about what worked, what didn't, and how I can change my course of action, if needed. #bouki thinks Celebration posts: when I complete a goal! #bouki did it All of the hashtags I will use to organize this blog will be under this post.

What is a blog without a DNI list?
DO NOT INTERACT: people who glorify dis0rd3r3d eating and the overall pro community, MAGA, 'older men'/'daddy' blogs, racists, terfs, homophobes, people who glorify p3d0ph3l1a, and as I keep coming across weirdos on this site, I'll update this list.
If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading!
