support myself
I got a job...

...so that’s a start. I’m still getting money from relatives but they’re supporting me less and less and I actually want to be the single person to be dependent on in my life.
I’ll stock up my working hours by January, finish my studies by February (if everything goes well, that is) and then go look for another – better paid – job abroad. It works together with my goal of becoming an interpreter… I’m almost there.

Thing is, I’m proud when it comes to money. I don’t want to depend on anyone because everyone who has some sort of power over you – especially financially – will eventually bring you down and use it to hurt you or manipulate you to do what they want. No more of that for me!



Get a tattoo
Got my appointment...

...got my font type, got my quote. Well, actually I’m not sure about the quote yet. I have two that both really mean a lot to me but I’m leaning to one more than to the other.

It’s gonna be a simple tattoo on the inside of my arm. Black ink, nothing too curly or artsy. Handwritten quote that is supposed to remind me of things that are important.



become really skinny (read all 2 entries…)
Another 10 lbs down

The reason for almost having achieved this goal is not very nice. My then-boyfriend cheated on me with a friend of mine – yeah, I know, it’s such a cliché.

This plunged me into a major depression for a couple of months, during which I forgot to eat most of the time and lived on caffeine, nicotine and veggie juice. And I took lots of long thinky walks.

So I dropped quite a bit of weight. I broke up with the asshole, am slowly getting over him (you know, remembering good times doesn’t help in forgetting someone) and the good thing is: I’m short one mean boyfriend and a lot of weight and I feel great about myself.

Don’t give up, girls. And don’t let anyone tell you being skinny doesn’t make you happy. It solves so many problems just because it makes you look good.
