I need to do this for myself, and for my mental health; I feel so much better when I am honest with myself and others. Anxiety and fear keeps me from saying what's really on my mind sometimes, and it is something I need to get over.
So, I wrote a very long - and actually complete! - novel awhile ago, and then the disc I had it on crashed and erased it. Fortunately, I had the entire thing printed out before this happened! What I want and need to do now is to type it all back up, editing and polishing it as I go.
I've already gotten John Lennon on my left shoulder - I want my other Beatles idol, George Harrison, on my right shoulder.
The image that I want will be from the same series of portraits, and of the same size as my John tattoo. The portrait itself is a bit different in style, so I need to iron out the details.
To soothe my nerves and help with my overall health and anxiety, I think I need to be out of the craziness of the city more often. We have a great, massive forest/park in Louisville, so I don't have much of an excuse. Being in a forest always helps me clear my mind, and it's been too long.
I want and need to actively search for ways to get my work out there more; submitting to writing competitions and contests would be a nice and easy way to do that, and would hopefully also help to get me published.
This is the very first tattoo that I knew I wanted, and it is of a six-fingered fencing sword, a la The Princess Bride. Over the years, I've figured out more and more of how I want it to look, but I need to gather pictures and designs of various swords, so that I can present the tattoo artist with a more concrete design to sketch up. I feel like getting this tattoo would be a great landmark for me.
This is something I've wanted to get involved in for months now - The Toy Society makes the world a little bit more fantastical and wondrous by organizing toy 's', where handmade toys are left in various places around the world for unsuspecting children to find. I think it is a great idea, and I want to make some toys to in Louisville!
I feel like doing this would really rejuvenate me and inspire me, at this point in my life. I want to hit the road, hopefully with a good friend, and see some sights - I want to be impulsive(of course, this is me planning to be impulsive), and I want to have some fun.
This my seem like a minor task, but ahhh! It feels overwhelming to me.
This is something that has only become a goal in my life recently. I think it would be beneficial for me to do, even if it would be a little mentally draining.
I've always loved fencing - I love to learn about it, I love the style of it, and I think it's a sport I could really get into.
I don't know why I have never learned to do this - probably a mixture of fear and procrastination. But, this is definitely something I need to learn how to do.
I have always loved Greece, and I have wanted to go there since I was very little.
This is one of my main life ambitions.
