I've made a '2019 Happy Goals' list
Because I don't care about coming up with resolutions that feel so ideal in the present but so torturous in the new year
I don't want to burden the year that hasn't even begun yet with all the things I couldn't do this year
Or be unrealistic about things that will take me longer than a year to achieve
Tasks and hard things can keep away
I'm going to enter 2019 knowing the happy things
Happy Goals 2019
1. Pick one poet I studied in high school and really study them.
2. Get my typewriter fixed or buy a new one.
3. Learn to do my hair (just leaving it open doesn't do it anymore).
4. Start wearing home slippers all the time. Not just for the first week I buy them.
5. Fill an entire journal with illustrations.
6. Pet a dog. (It's never too late!)
7. Go away for a few days from the life I know.
8. Buy flowers. For my space. As a more regular thing, not a rare gesture.
9. Indulge in more creative writing activities. While keeping at the self introspective ones.
10. Get rid of mementos.
11. Move from isolated words to basic sentences in Korean.
12. Perform spoken word more often. Even if I think my voice shakes.
13. Let go because my heart is ready to truly be light.
