June Goals.
I can’t believe it is already June 2021! Time flies when you are in a global pandemic!
For this June, I want to do a deeper dive into my passions and try things that I have been neglecting due to fears and anxiety. These past few years I really have been in a lazy, dull mode. I feel like I had lost the “spark” for being excited about life. Since I’m on the heels of me being free from working for someone else, June is all about a rebirth of myself. Here are four big goals of mine for the month.
.01 Learn some new skills/ perfect old ones that will help me in my artist journey. I’ve already had a list of things I wish I knew how to do, that has been collecting dust over the years. One such skill on this list that I would love to learn how to do is Calligraphy or hand-lettering, and perfecting my over all handwriting. I have always had an inconsistent handwriting since I could remember. I was always fond of my mothers penmanship, who had such a neat cursive hand and of my best friend’s. She has the most beautiful dainty penmanship I have ever seen. Most of all, I want to start sending hand written notes via snail mail, and to be able to add a more creative touch to my bullet journalling.
.02 Post my first Youtube video and up my instagram presence. The ideal of posting a video and opening myself up to what may end up being inevitable online bullying, terrifies that crap out of me! On one side, fears and memories of my school age years and those things coming back to haunt me, makes me want to hide inside and never see the light of day again. On the other, getting to interact with others who are similar and have things in common with me on a global scale, sounds great. Joining in a bigger community, awesome. Sharing and learning from others in a way that I enjoy as well, sounds amazing. I have always wanted to start a YouTube channel ever since Youtube started (does that date me? haha). So before the month is over, except a video from me on the platform. It may be a short and sweet one, but at least it will be one. As for instagram, I also want to up my posting and actually post pictures of myself again. Even though I still posted via stories, I haven’t made many post about me. Gaby’s insta is doing better than mine right now lol
.03 Start focus on nesting and really making our apartment a home. Right now our apartment is more of a dumping ground for our stuff. You know, just a place were we sleep eat and watch tv, but it isn’t really put together. We have a very small space and it is a bit unorganised. I want it to feel a bit more open, brighter, and put together. Since we are planning on expanding our family, I want to be able to define our style a bit more before it is overrun with baby things.
.04 A good old finish revamp of my personal style. Due to my weight changes, I have not been able to wear most of the clothes I own, but I also haven’t found or been able to find clothes that I like at my current weight. The stores I used to shop at either don’t exist here in the Netherlands or the stores here don’t carry my new size. If they do carry my size, it is not flattering to my figure. As a result I have been wearing the same things over and over again (Not to mention my struggle finding ethically made clothing too). So I plan on clearing out the items that I can no longer fit or am holding onto for no reason other that sentimental ones and to start replacing them with more “sustainable” clothing options that I actually like and make me feel good. Plus items that will change with my body, so I don’t have to replace my whole wardrobe again.
