Have a different life by this time next year

I know I just made a post but I feel as though I should list things I’d like to change preferably by next year:

Have a job, hopefully one I can enjoy to some extent. Sitting at home alone for almost two years is extremely depressing and I hate when people ask me what I do, I hate feeling like a bum and people pitying me.

I feel trapped and frustrated still living with my parents. Of course they’d say I should be more appreciative, and I am, but I hate feeling like a child all the time and I’d like to have my own space. But coming from an asian family, I don’t think they’d be too keen on me moving out anytime soon, they seem to think that I shouldn’t move out until I’m married. I can’t stand feeling trapped like this. Obviously moving out at this point isn’t such a great idea considering I don’t even have a job yet. Therefore I don’t think I’ll be moved out within a year, but maybe start working my way towards it.

I’m not particularly fond of how I look. I don’t sleep well so the huge bags under my eyes make my face and eyes looks very dull, and I’d like to fix that. And due to a bad diet my complexion is not so great anymore. Also my hair feels dead and flat and I dislike how it looks. I’d like it to be nicer by next year.

Right now I can’t afford to pay for insurance for my own car but hopefully by next year.

Fix my current relationship.

Have at least one new friend. Someone completely new that I haven’t even met yet. Someone genuine and wonderful who thinks the way I do and I don’t feel awkward around and doesn’t take me for granted and make me feel like crap. My OWN friend, not a shared friend that will abandon me for the other friends in our group. I hate feeling like a third wheel.

Have travelled at least 5 new places. I doubt I’ll even leave the country between now and this time next year, therefore I’ll let this apply to new area’s I haven’t visited yet. Maybe a new town, a day trip to France? Find some new places to hang out in London.

Have a piercing/tattoo. Not a neccessity but I’d sure feel different with one of those hahah.

Possibly have a new pet/companion. I fell in love with a bunny in the pet shop a couple of days ago. I named him Mr Bubbles but unfortunately didn’t get to take him home. :( And I’m sure he’s been bought by now as he was so adorable.. Ah well. I’d prefer to have a pet that will acknowledge me better like a cat or a dog.

That’s enough for now, this is too long already. :)

I’m pretty sure I’ve had this goal on my list for over a year now and I gotta say things still feel pretty much the same as last year.. I still have no job, still have the same (lack of) friends and no new decent positive people in my life which is something I feel that I really need right now, no new hobbies/interests, still living in the same house, still lonely as hell and been in the same long-distance relationship which seems pretty dead at the moment mostly due to me. The only thing that’s changed is that I’ve finally got my driving license so I don’t have to go for driving lessons anymore like last year, which means I’ve lost one of the only reasons I had left to leave the house regularly. :\ Also my pet chicken King died which means I no longer have anyone to talk to when I’m home all alone during the day. Plus the unexpected deaths of a few relatives.. But I can’t say my life has changed much since last year. It’s a little depressing thinking about it. Maybe big drastic changes aren’t always good, but I had hoped I’d have at least achieved a little more by now, like maybe have a job. So since I’ve made this entry now, I’ll start this goal again from this moment. In a year I will read this post and see how things have changed, hopefully for the better. I’ll also try and update any positive changes here.
