How I did it
How to be able to live my life without self harm
It took me
5 years
It made me
stronger

How I did it: Things came to a head when I was overseas for a while, and ever since then I have not done it.It was a big thing for me, because it wasn't just cutting.  I would slap myself and physically beat myself up, sometimes to the point of concussion.. That's when I knew it really had to stop once and for all.Of course I can't say now that I won't do it again. I know alcoholics that haven't drank in 15 years, and I'm sure they won't. But you … Read how I did it…

How to find my soulmate
It took me
17 years
It made me
in love

How I did it: One day a guy named "Dante" requested my friendship on MySpace.  I didn't really pay much attention to him, but noted that he had a pretty cool name.  We sent each other a few messages, him getting angry at me at a point for not replying, and me finding this a tad weird since I didn't know him at all.  Somehow, I ended up reading his info on his MySpace page, discovering that he was actually very well spoken, and added him … Read how I did it…

How to live in India
It took me
11 years
It made me
fulfilled

How I did it: I have wanted to travel to India since I saw the movie "A Little Princess" when I was 7 years old.  I remember going and buying saris and would insist going everywhere in one.  I thought the idea of India was completely entrancing.  Then, after I finished school, my parents bought me a ticket over there and I, in the previous year, had saved up for everything else.  I went with a volunteer program, with 3 other Austral… Read how I did it…

shower daily
Explanation

I feel like a bad person adding this to my list, like I’m disgusting… But I’m not here to judge anyone and I hope they’ll be the same about me :)

But my “reason” for not showering as often as I should is due to the fact that I have aquagenic pruritus, which is a skin condition which means I get INSANE itching all over my body after contact with water. Essentially, it is an allergic reaction to water with no known cure.

I have found a temporary fix in NaPCA skin spray which I have found helps stop the itching better.. But I still get itchy after showering and it almost makes me scared to go in there because I know the process of getting out and defusing the itching is such a long one that I don’t even want to go through with it.

The lesser showering got worse after I lived in India and I literally didn’t have the choice to shower because we had a limited water supply. But I really want to get back into good, hygienic habits once and for all and conquer my fear!

quit smoking for good
Need to quit

Ah yes, I’m at the stage where I’m still like, “Yeahhh I really need to do it..” But haven’t quite got there yet.

I started off with the whole “social smoking” thing and I think I STILL don’t consider myself a “smoker” even though I know I really am one.

I can go days without having a smoke and feel fine, but there are moments where I feel like I can’t go without one, not so much out of a craving, but just out of habit. I think that’s the downfall with smokers, it becomes like breathing, or drinking water. It is just done.

I smoke in my car, when I drive. Of course I can drive without having a ciggie, but when I’m driving somewhere alone, and longer distance, away from home, I want one! Also if I’m at my boyfriend’s house and we’ve just eaten, I’ll normally light up straight after. And of course, the smoking while drinking. When I’ve had a few drinks, nothing stops me.

My boyfriend and I have vowed to stop after this pack (but don’t we all?) ... We’ll see how it goes.
