25

 Ok, y'all, I'm 25 now. So here starts a new me, a new year, a new idea of what it takes to be alive in the world. Let's hope I can learn from my mistakes and head forward with the intent to share Jesus' love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness with all the people I meet.

A few things I intend to accomplish this year:

Go to LA
Get out more
Enjoy people I'm with more fully
Increase my basis of foods (experiences) I intake
Visit the French consulate
Increase my variety in images I produce
Spend more time writing
Draw some things
Get plugged in somewhere, joyfully, excitedly
Use my talents more widely
Vary my days/do's/wants more
Sleep fully, soundly, restfully
Be awake, fully, presently, peacefully, energized
Travel other places
Meet a man I can spend time with, laugh with, support and who can support me
Learn, learn, learn
Succeed because I've failed
Honor God's gifts to me, study them, love them, let Him love me more
Watch others, more than I try to succeed, let others succeed
Sweeten my time on this earth
Get a period
Enjoy that period so fully
Read more

And with that, I shall go read. :)

But first I shall innocently recount the day to you quickly. The market was fun because the people were nice about my hair, Sue even liked my shirt and said it's not about new, it's about it being cute on me, which was nice of her. Denise commented on my trip, I let her know my seriousness level subtly and calmly, Ian came over to explain himself and his troubles. Chris did the same thing, and he was very funny, quoting movies, asking questions, and being an overall nice guy. Why the things that have happened to him have happened to him, I'll never know, but he makes me feel more like a good person just by being around him, which is awesome.

I'm tired. Woke up at 1:30, couldn't go to sleep till around 3:00, woke up at 4:00...the bags under my eyes aren't thanking me. :(

Things to do today? Anything else? Decide about Seanloui's shoot in his house. I want to do that in black and white, but I also feel like...no, I want it to be very artsy. Hmmm...I need an outfit for it. Something tasteful, something almost completely covered. Something very me.

Yes. :)
