Finally!

After many obstacles I finally saw an opera! My parents got me season tickets to the Austin Lyric Opera. I saw Pagliacci and absolutely loved it. I also have tickets for The Marriage of Figaro and Faust.

At Guys

I should change this goal to smile more at guys. I am soooooooooooo bad at this, have always been. For some reason, the moment I think a guy is cute, I can’t stand to even make eye contact, let alone smile at him. ugh. how do I get over this? I tried to consciously do it at the supermarket today and it was a total failure!

New City New Me

Now is the perfect time to accomplish this goal. I am moving to a new city away from everyone I know and love. I can be whomever I want to be which is such an exciting prospect. I just got my hair cut short for the first time, am buying a new wardrobe once I get to Austin (thrift store heaven!), and think I’m gonna make red lipstick a daily part of my routine. Now I just need to focus on the changes I will make on the inside. I really want to work to be more outgoing, something I have improved so much over the past couple years. I also want to focus more intellectually and spiritually. I have gotten into the habit of wasting my time on television instead of things that will actually improve my mind. Lastly and most difficult I need to work on how I act around guys. I’ve spent my life diverting glances and pretending like I hate the entire male gender because of my own insecurities. It is time to show the open and friendly self that I really am. So in a way I’m not really reinventing myself, just finally revealing the real me. :)
