Labels: new year, resolution

New Year's is closing in on us. I figured that maybe I should write down my resolutions like I do every year, but I never check to see whether I have accomplished any of them or not.

Manage my time. I seem to not have enough time for myself. I seem to not be able to organise my time well enough to be at peace with myself, and my stress level increases every time I get near a deadline or when something adds up to my to-do list.
Reduce my stress. I always seem to be stressed. Actually, no, I take that back. I am stressed. I am going to care for my body and for my mental health. My stress is killing me.
Eat healthy. I already eat what is necessary, but there are times I let myself slip away. I will try to do better.
Do more exercice. I used to be more active before. Again, I let myself slip. I used to do badminton, rock-climbing, whatever happened to me?
Be more independant. I hate being dependant to someone. I am considered somewhat independant at a certain extent, but I fall in love easily and and I attach myself dearly to someone. I take time to fall out of love. It hurts a lot to get my heart ripped in a million pieces by the same person over and over again. I'm sick of it. I was sick of it, which is why I want to be stronger emotionally.
Get a new job. My current job, like everybody knows, is killing me socially, psychologically, mentally, emotionally and in every harmful way. It's unhealthy. The people there, they're hurting me. I can't take that job anymore. It's too much stress.
Save money. I have to stop my spending spree. I usually don't spend that much but the last few months, I've been spending and spending. I've been paying this and that for people's birthdays and then there was Christmas, and I've spent so much on christmas gifts. Then there was bxing day, and the list goes on. I have to save money so I can get out of this place, and go travel. I want to go see the world.
Lose the attitude. I've improved in this aspect. I've lost some of my attitude, and I've become less grumpy. My friends from high school aren't used to it and they all said they miss the old mean TL. What should I do? I can't keep my temper forever.
Learn something new. I want to expand my horizons. I want to learn something new whether it be a new language, or improve something I have already learned.
Maintain a diary or something that will help me remember about my life. I have an awful memory in terms of past events or dates, and things like these. For some odd reason, I have an amazing ability to remember people's names, or page numbers and other unecessary things.


today, Matt and Laine are coming over. Schedule is at 12, Matt comes over and drives me to Maxi and we buy fruits and chocolate. Then, at 1, Laine comes. We have chocolate fondue, then we watch movies. :)

My art is instinctive, expressive and reflective of my soul. It feels for me, it thinks for me, it moves for me, it speaks for me. I paint to influence, to move, to feel and to express my feelings.

The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech.*Vincent van Gogh

The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.*Vincent can Gogh

My name is Sylvia. I'm 19 years old. I go where my hearts leads me to, and at this moment, it's beating for arts. It allows me to learn, to see, to explore, to discover things about the world, and about me. I wish to live my life well and to be able to express my voice in all possible forms. more?
