Holy crap, it's a new year. I can hardly believe that 2015 has ended and 2016 has begun. I know I am a little slow on the new years post, but I just needed to get myself to sit down and write this out. 

In a way I am glad that 2015 is over. It means that all the bad things that happened last year can be washed away and all the good times can be remember fondly. Its also a time for change and to begin being a new person, to better myself. 

So in the idea of changing for a new year, and bettering oneself, I thought I would share some of my goals for the new year with you all.

1. Read more new books

2. Say YES to more opportunities

3. Write more/blog more

4. Learn to enjoy life for the little things and appreciate them

5. Be more creative in everything I do

6. Make healthier life choices for myself

7. See more of the world

8. Try something new every week

9. Learn new and interesting things

10. Be positive

Hopefully I will be able to stick to these and make life more enjoyable and fun for myself as the year goes on.

This year is a rather important one for me. It is my last year of university (yikes) and that means that I need to get myself organised and figure out what I am going to do with myself when I leave the comfort of university. Creating and finding opportunities for myself and my future. Which is an idea that scares me more than I sometimes would like to admit.

I also plan on making some changes here, and I know thats not the first time I have said that, but this time I plan on keeping that promise. I have a couple of regular post ideas that I would like to start doing monthly and sometimes even more often than that. Things that I want to be able to keep up and continue on as the months go by. In the aim of furthering this blog a little.

I want to be able to share  more exciting things with you guys this year, and getting myself more out there. 

I hope you guys are ready for what lies ahead, and I hope that the year that lies ahead of us, is an exciting one at that.

A Restless Soul.

Hey guys,

I am finding now that I am growing up that I have a restless soul. I feel the constant need to do things and move around and be out and about. I feel as if just sitting in one place for to long makes me bored and fidgety, like I crave being in the move and doing things. 

I'm not sure if this is mean't to be a part of growing up, the constant need for movement and adventure, but it is a feeling that I quite enjoy. 

My adventurous mind is growing wild and the fire in my heart yearns for something more. More adventure, more travel and more creative things to feed it. 

My younger self used to be afraid of such change and hid away from anything that could throw off the balance and comfort of a life I had grown accustomed to. But now it shines at the idea. And now I know that I truly have changed since I am accepting these parts of my life. I look back now, in wonder, at a person who dealt with thing differently and couldn't handle change. It amazing how much one person can grow in just a year. 

With 2014 coming to an end I can say that I have achieved may things that I never would have dreamed of. From taking a gigantic and crazy change that moved me away from my comfort zone. To the smaller things, like trying out new things that I would have dreaded before.

This restless soul of mine is finally falling into place.

How has this year changed you?

What have you done that you never would have dreamed of doing in the past?

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. See you soon.

Project 2014

Hey guys,

So 2014 is well on it's way, we are almost at the end of January and that means that we are one month down. I am aiming to use 2014 as a year to change my life, throw in new things and put myself in new situations. This also means starting new projects and doing things that make me happy and mean that I don't spend all my free time sitting around on my laptop (which I happen to be doing now, but with a purpose).

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed this book everywhere and it made me curious. It wasn't until I was watching my daily dose of YouTube that I got a good explanation for what is was, thanks to YouTuber Grav3yardgirl, that made me really want to give it a try.

So my first project for the year is the 'Wreck This Journal' by Keri Smith.

I am hoping that this will help me be more creative this year. I have always had a large imagination and I need to start finding outlets for some of the creativity that comes from my imagination, so I plan on using this for that. I also plan to share some of these pages with you guys, maybe a weekly or month update of sorts, but I don't even know yet.

I am hoping that I can also find out more about myself, you never know what will come out until you are given a task to really think about it. This year will be one of creativeness for me, as I need to start moving away from the place I have found myself stuck in since I left high school. 

I already have some big plans ahead for this year (including 'moving' to a new city for a majority of the year) and hope that I can broaden my horizons, for myself and for this blog. I also have a pile of new ideas for this blog that will vary hugely from last year. I also plan on blogging more as I find it relaxing to just write stuff out and send it into cyber space for people to stumble across, so hopefully this will all go down smoothly. 

I do hope to blog more frequently, although towards the end of next month it might be a challenge with the massive change that will be happening, but I hope that I get to share it with you guys and whomever stumbles down this rabbit hole.

I hope that you all have a splendid week, see you soon.

Procrastination and Creative mind block.

Hey guys,

So I haven't blogged in a while. And I'm  not going to lie, it's because I'm super lazy, busy and procrastinating on life. I have had a huge pile of assignments and lists of things to do, and I have pretty much done everything that has a due date the night before. Or in the case of one assignment, the morning of.

 

I have also been having super writers/creative block. Not only for blogging, but also every other thing that needs me to use my creative parts of my brain (writing a song as an assignment, being one of them).

 

Things are slowly calming down and I hopefully will get back to normal, and blog more, even though I have only started recently. I hope to blog more. I just really need to get off my butt and get onto it. I will be knocking my procrastination habit to the side (hopefully) and get things done.
