Thank you my loveliest @bad-love for the tag in @yiiiiiiiikes25's expansive delights game
🌸 how would/could/will you go about making your life a little bigger and a little more lovely this year? 1-5 notions pls
1. I want to read more widely and more in general. I don't put much stake in quantity, but I did set a soft goal of 9 books for myself. I haven't had the wherewithal to read much for the past year and change, but I want to put in a little more effort this time around for my own sake. And related to that, I want to watch more films! idc about being serious on Letterboxd, but I want to start using it as a tracker so I can actually be more thoughtful/remember the media I experience this year.
2. I want to start laying the groundwork for a potential career change. It's still early-early days and too soon for me to say anything, but I got lucky through a series of happenstances and a cold email that got me so much further than I thought it would: I have a mentor in the industry I'm interested in (I've never had a professional mentor!!), but I need to start doing some self-learning to steer myself in that direction. It's the hope of possibility though—I haven't felt that in so, so long.
3. Very literal one, but I need a car/to practice driving more. I have my license, but I haven't practiced enough to be comfy doing it yet and it's something I need to do for livelihood/living in the States reasons that I've been putting off because of the aforementioned wherewithal to Do Things. I don't like it. But it will literally allow me to very tangibly expand my world instead of relying on my friends all the time (which I'm increasingly self-conscious about).
4. Moving more is an every year goal but ESPECIALLY since I'm not living anywhere remotely walkable and will be for the foreseeable future. I want to feel more energized, take lunch walks when I can, do more functional strength training for present and future me. I've struggled with consistency the past few months, so I want to get more of that structure back.
