2019 resolutions

[alouettesque]

 I posted these on Tumblr a few days ago but here they are now, and also I'm going to elaborate on them a little bit for long-form blogging.

personal

• dye my hair black (because hopefully that will help me stop being weird about my blonde hair not being as blonde as it used to be and I can stop being self-conscious whenever my grandmother mentions it)
• go through my entire wardrobe and keep only that which is tailored to (ha!) my current situation
• do more hobbies and less social media

get it together

• find a dentist
• join a credit union
• find a therapist
• plan meals in advance 
• figure out what the Next Step is (because my job is making me miserable and I know part of that is because I have been off meds for over a month now but also my job just generally is so exhausting and it's not what I want to do long-term)

creative 

• finish a long-term WIP
• make visual art for myself and don’t worry about it being good (I wrote today in my sketchbook: "I am going to draw badly and be okay with it! I am going to paint some real garbage and love it! And maybe I will make stuff I like, too!")
• take an art class with my mom
• finish a sketchbook

that's uh. that's the list. I also want to keep reading (I read 18 books in 2018 compared to the 4 books I read in 2017, so I want to keep that momentum going) and utilizing the library. I want to keep going outside even though I'm not in the PNW anymore. I was really impressed by how concrete Galvin's resolutions were and I think that I try breaking things down into quantifiable resolutions at some point this month, but for now... these are good.
