Yearly Goals: 2017 v 2018

The beginning of a new year mean a fresh start in terms of yearly goals and new year resolutions as well as a good time to look back on the past year. Every year since starting this blog I have taken the time to write down a list of personal goals for the year ahead so I feel like now is the right time to look back on my list from last year as well as putting together a new list for 2018.

For reference you can view my 2017 Goals post here.

In short my 2017 goals were;

- Eat less meat
- Drink less fizzy Drinks and more water
- Spend more time with friends
- Go to California
- Write more
- Learn something new.

2016 Goals

It's now 2016 and I'm back to try and not fail at blogging again, (i keep meaning to write posts and then I forget I'm sorry.)

At the beginning of last year I wrote a little list of some of the things I wanted to achieve last year, so I thought I'd look back and see what I did and didn't do and then make a new list of goals and wants for this coming year.

I haven't really wrote a post about me yet so I thought I'd do a little fact post. So here is 100 facts about me, this took me so long to think of 100 facts who knew it was so hard to think about yourself.

A Letter To Myself

I decided that I wanted to write a letter to myself, I read Halsey's letter to herself 5 years ago, that you can read here and it really touched me, I'm not gonna lie I cried a little but not as much as I did when I wrote my letter. I've said it before that I find it really hard to talk to people about how I feel yet it really isn't good for me if I keep my feelings tucked up inside so this was the perfect way to let my feelings out without having to actually talk to a specific person, because I was talking to myself. I honestly found this really good therapy, who says you need to pay someone £45 an hour to make yourself feel better, just grab a piece of paper and a pen and write. You might be sitting here reading this like, please I wouldn't even know what to say and trust me I thought that as well but once my pen hit that paper it all came out, a long with the tears, but i really feel like a weight has been lifted now and i feel a lot better within myself.

I've been craving to write another post but have been a little stuck for ideas but I've thought of one and it's probably a little late since this post is going to be about my favourite moments of 2014 but I'm doing it anyway. This has taken me so long to write because it started to look more like a photo album than a blog post so I had to restart it.

goal
   ɡəʊl/
noun

1. the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result. 

In life I feel like it is super important to have goals, whether they be big or small I feel like everyone should have some of some sort. At the beginning of the year I wrote a list of goals for the year, some of them being silly little things and others being life changers, some of which I know I will definitely achieve, some I already have, and some that might me a little out of reach yet I am still determined to get part way to completing them.

Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people; it is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an association. 

I've learnt the hard way that not everybody is truly your friend and loves you for you; sometimes they are just there for what they can get out of you and then when you learn that that is the case it hurts. A lot. It’s happened to me and it sucked, it made me start to question who I can trust and I then found it hard to make friends, I just settled with acquaintances, it took less effort and hurt less when they left. But then I met the right people, the kind of people you know are right for you and are going to be there for you always and I learnt to trust people again, I admit sometimes I sit alone and I question whether they actually like me and that’s has nothing to do with them because I know they do, it’s my mind, my fucked up insecurities that ruin everything but then they do or say something and without them even knowing they prove to me that I need to stop worrying and questioning their love and that’s what is so great about them and why I know they’re going to be stuck with me forever.

“Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.” – Al Capone.

Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.

Being happy is one of my main goals in life, I don’t want to live a life where I’m constantly worrying and stressing and being sad over everything, anything and nothing. Truthfully, I don’t know how to be happy all I know is that I can’t rely on other people to make me happy; I need to make myself happy! I mean I don’t need to be jumping with joy and grinning 24/7 but I want to at least be content, content with myself, my life and my future and I’m really determined to get there this time. The people I currently have in my life are kind of an inspiration to me and I aim to be as happy and carefree as they are or at least seem to be.

*eminem voice* Hi! My name is...

So it's currently 11:33am on Friday 23rd January 2015 and I've decided to write my first blog post. I'm not very good at writing and nobody will probably ever read this but yesterday I made a list of goals for this year and one of them was to start a blog, I'm doing this mainly for myself, I feel like it's gonna be a good way for me to get things off my chest and in the wise words of Halsey 'this is my chance to immortalize my memories.' So just be prepared for a lot of stories about bands and crying and bad reckless decisions I've made with the best people in the world, my little emo friends.

Here are the boring bit for any lucky soul that doesn't know me already;
My name's Georgina, I was born and raised in England and I'm 21, soon to be 22 *tswizzle starts playing*, and that's all I can think to tell you about me. If you want to learn more about my day-to-day life and who I'm currently crying over you can follow my twitter @fakegeorgina and then if you still want more you can also follow my tumblr

See you when I have something exciting to write about which hopefully will be soon
