2016 Goals

I mentioned a few posts ago that I had some small goals and things I want to achieve in 2016 and thought that I would create a list here so I have to stick with it. Every thing I check off the list I'll blog about then edit this post to add the link and be able to cross it off the list.

I want to.....

- Go to the theatre
- Go to the ballet
- Participate in the Sussan Womens Fun Run
- Go to the drive ins
- Do the Colour Run this year with my sister.
- Read at least 15 books
- Go on more day trips exploring Victoria
- Try and re-learn writing Macedonian
- Complete a large full coverage cross stitch

They're my top goals for the year that I can think of right now but as I think of more, I'll add them to the list too.

2016 is going to be brilliant!

Wrapping Things Up

yup, just being glam AF catching up on blogs and youtube

Hey Guys! Just wanted to put this out there incase anyone wonders why my face or body looks different but I have a number of outfit photos that I took before I had the lapband surgery and want to have them posted before I show too much of myself post lapband on here. I'm going to try and post them as quickly as I can so I can start up a routine.

Once my little photo inventory is all posted I'm hoping to post here at least once a week (but hopefully more). I want to make it feel a bit more 'routine' rather than have 50,000 posts all at once then nothing for a while.

PLESE MAKE ME STICK TO MY WORD ON THIS!  If I start slipping and forget to post, send me a email and be like 'wtf bro!', k?

Every time I write stuff on here it just feels so therapeutic, even if it doesn't make sense or sounds dumb or whatever, it just makes my mind chill. And if you hadn't seen my approach to writing, I don't really hold back and type how I talk. I wish I was a good writer. Sometimes I find myself thinking up really great things to write but when I sit down to type, it's all gone and I find myself with Year 9 English skills again. Ugh. Anyway. I just want to start tying a bit harder with this because its more than just posting cute pictures for me, It's just kind of soothing.


What kind of routine do you have for blogging or social media?

TRAVEL TUESDAY! - Leaving Family Behind

I found this quote and it smacked me right in the face and urged me to write this post. I wanted to try out a bit of a themed day type post but I feel it may be short lived as I'm contemplating whether I should start up a travel specific blog separate to this one because I have a lot I want to talk about when it comes to travelling and the emotions related to the experience. This quote made me really think. Sam and I have been talking about moving overseas for years. If we had actually done it when we had first spoken about it, we would have lived in a few countries by now.
The big factor in why we haven't really done anything that 'extreme' has honestly been my family. Fear of how life will be if I leave them behind. And what if we never want to come back? Would I be able to cope not seeing them for almost years at a time? God. Now I'm crying at the thought of it. I know I'll get through it but how do people with tight knit families move overseas or travel for extended periods of time without feeling like a piece of your heart is missing? If I didn't have this type of relationship with my family I would have been gone by now. Anyone else part of a wog family where you're basically expected to live in close proximity to your parents for the rest of your life unless you want a life of guilt that you're not there? I can't let this stop me from travelling to far away places for long periods of time. It's an emotional cleanse. Getting away is good for your health and I feel that right now I need a fresh start more than ever. I feel like I'm carrying a shell that is too small for me and its time for me to move in to a bigger shell so I can live a bit more freely.


Do you want to travel or move overseas? If so, where?
