Somehow I’ve had a major downturn this late in the year. I just feel like I have no social life any more, and it’s affecting every aspect of my life. I feel as if my friends don’t particularly want to go out with me any more, they don’t even invite me out, even if I can’t go. And the way that my boyfriend’s socil life is so much better than mine makes me feel inferior to him and I keep bugging him while he’s out because I have nothing better to do and he gets pissed off and then I get upset and he apologises but I wish that I could just do as much as he can.



Things I have improved since 2008 2 months ago
I think that a ‘great 2009’ is only great in relation to what came before. So, at the end of last year I was:
  • Jobless
  • Had very little sense of style
  • Was fantasising over a relationship which didn’t (and would never) exist for me
  • Had an average amount of friends, didn’t do all that much outside of school besides swim and guitar
  • Had a BMI of about 21
  • Had a very low amount of money coming in and too much going out
  • Was healthy, besides a few psychological problems
  • Had very low self-esteem
  • Had a turbulent relationship with my family
(the ones in bold are the ones that still apply)
And the things that have changed…
  • Newly employed
  • In a loving, healthy relationship with my ideal guy
  • Have a bit more style
  • Have a slowly-improving self-esteem
  • Am making more close friends
  • Have money coming in, and I’m not currently sure whether it’s going out at the same pace
  • Don’t have as much wrong psychologically, am still healthy
  • Am fitter than I was last year

A lot of my issues from last year were interlinked (ie. relationship/self-esteem and job/money), and didn’t start to kick in until about June. So the second half of the year has certainly been better than the first half. Not to say I didn’t enjoy the first half while it was there though :)



September 2009 3 months ago

I’m having a great year :) I think this will be achieved, if the momentum keeps up. I’ve done pretty well in my exams, and I’m in a relationship with the loveliest boy ever. In my opinion. There’s still improvements that could be made, but it isn’t all bad!



June 2009 7 months ago

I cried last night… over something not worth crying about. But at least I realised that and got over it fairly quickly.
And I’ve been starting to do some exercise, sees as I’m off school for 3 or so months.
But on a negative turn, exams are in 2009. But I don’t mind, as long as I try my best I’ll get through them well.



2009, so far, is 84% worth living. 10 months ago

Outside of my consumption, though, I’ve been generally happy all year so far. If I get good grades in my exams and actually FINISH my art book and graphics work, I will be even happier. So I think 84% is fine so far, but there are still life goals I want to achieve this year which probably aren’t going to be achieved, but my self-esteem is on the up since last year and things are good!

Is mostly a self-improvement-related one, by keeping track of my goals via 43T, I might be able to be happy by the end of next year. If I am, then I will have completed this goal.
