2023 has just started, with nearly a month into the year now - and things are looking much better this year than 2022! Especially with the certainty now - and with Jacinda Ardern stepping down, and that almost all covid restrictions are lifted. So now I should find it a whole lot easier trying to accomplish some goals, especially working towards what I really want to be - a fashion designer, a model, an artist and a photographer - and getting a job! Also the other good news is that I am now 5 years seizure free (I have epilepsy unfortunately), so if I have the time, I can move towards studying the road code and learning how to drive - although, given the environmental concerns we face today, if I get a driver's license, I will opt to drive in a more sustainable vehicle, like choosing a car or a motorbike that runs on electricity instead of petrol. This year, I aim to be a happier, healthier person and go on more adventures, and get a job. I also have goals for taking up new hobbies and meeting new people, and making friends with them. Just as with any other year, I aim to be kind and nice to people, be organized - especially around social media posting and content creation, plans for events and daily or weekly routines such as skin care. I will also partake in new experiences that I have never done before, and go to events that I've never been to before, and the same with new places and trying out different and new types of food and drinks to me - places that I've never been to before, and food and drinks that I've never had before. Unlike previous years, I also am going to put my health first - especially my mental and physical health, in addition to happiness, as usual. I will be cutting out toxicity from my life, including removing toxic people, try to consume less negative news* - especially news surrounding the Covid 19 pandemic! And I will be thinking about the positive things this year and will aim to be a positive person who can contribute to the community more. And when I mean health, I mean reducing stress, spending more time exercising (another bonus is that being fit means I can enjoy doing adventures and extreme activities), eating well, spending quality time with friends and family, and making sure I am in good health through checkups. Oh, and I will try to avoid getting sick as well. Covid isn't much of an issue for me, but isolation is not great, having done it last year. *Bearing all of this in mind, I will, of course continue to be concerned about any global event, including Covid, the economy, the war in Ukraine and other issues. But I will be trying not to be so anxious or stressed over it as much now that we are in more certain times, now that covid restrictions are almost gone. I have pursued extreme sports (including bungy jumping) and bodyboarding as a hobby, a new one that was born out of the pandemic and will be taking up more, which will be a mixture of good things. I have also been to high teas and have done luxury shopping, both of which are new hobbies that I have started in late 2021/start of 2022. This year, I will take up more hobbies, in addition to continuing on with the usual hobbies like gardening, painting, baking, blogging and photography etc. Some of the hobbies that I will likely take up this year includes:
New experiences that I can think of doing this year include:
There are many others, but there is too much to list, therefore this is not an exhaustive list. The most important thing though, is that I will strive to be stress free this year, although that will be a bit of a challenge given the unfortunate events of the past few years - given Covid and the passing of my father and the fallouts from those events. Even more importantly, I will enjoy doing what I do best, and live life to the fullest. And as with any other year, I will try to achieve my goals and resolutions, and work towards being a better, a happier, kinder and a healthier person.

Now that it's the New Year, I want this year to be better than the last. Sure, it's not going to be easy with ongoing restrictions and the pandemic (and the threat of Omicron), but should things go to plan, then this year should turn out better than the last. And unlike the previous years, I will try to be as realistic as possible, given the pandemic and travel restrictions resulting from it.
This year, I aim to strive to be happier, healthier and fitter. One of my goals is to get a job and perhaps become a model and even get into fashion design (if possible)*. I also aim to meet new people, be more social, and hope to start travelling once the restrictions are lifted. I will strive to eat healthier, be kind to everyone, and be more organized and. I will also support businesses, try and do new things that I haven't done before, explore new places and be more active in my hobbies - and possibly take up new hobbies as well. And spend less unnecessary time on social media if possible. And most importantly, I will do my best to be a positive person, and live life to the fullest with having fun, doing what I do best, and try my hardest to achieve my goals and resolutions for this year. *Disclaimer: While, I am noting that it may be possible to become a model and a fashion designer, it may also not be possible under the current circumstances - which is why I used perhaps in my sentence.
