In July, I will be three years away fom turning thirty. While I am not dreading this, there are some things I need to do to get my life in order. I am happy -- met an amazing man, a year away from finishing grad school, and I am gainfully employed -- but it's time to turn up. The problem is, and always has been, getting started. I suppose instead of writing blogs, and posting introspective fb statuses, I just need to start carving away at the vision I imagine for myself. To be honest, I don't have a clear vision, I just know that I want to be in a slightly different place. Being creative, being engaged, and being inspired. I fear that insurance, and even, hr is not going to do this for me; however, you need stability and sustanence to do the things you love (well, for me at least).
I am going to make an assignment for myself. I need to write down where I see myself by thirty, and start working toward those goals. Some of those goals:
1) Get into a bikini next summer (Shallow, I know)
2) Seriously work on, and change behaviors/patterns/habits that are detrimental to my growth
(personal, academic, professional)
3) Cook (I've already started that, and my attempts haven't been too bad)
4) Read more (Just downloaded Chimamanda Adiche's Americanah)
6) Write!!! (More blogs, more personal entries, more poetry)
Let's see how this goes.
