How I did it: This was a very weird goalAnd I just don't know how to properly explain.But by some weird twist of fate, I would have really horrible days whenever I wore makeup. Once I realized this, I vowed that I would keep trying to wear it anyways to try and twist my fate. But things only got worse on the days that I wore anything. I wasn't psyching myself out; I would just put the makeup on and plan for the best, trying to make everything go as smo… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I am certainly not done with this exactly. There will always be one person that I will never see anything good in. It's hard to look past someone abusive and see the good in him.But for everyone else, I've really grown to see the amazing qualities in people. This goal doesn't mean that I have to like everyone. I just have to find at least one thing that makes the person spark. Even if it's their Passion for a sport that I dislik… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I haven't carried around a purse since Junior year (three or so years ago). They make me feel narcissistic. But I've really been wanting something pretty to carry around some notebook paper and a book in. So I decided to just go out and make one rather than buying one from somewhere. I used an old red undershirt and black cloth to line the inside of the bag. Then, I took iridescent pipecleaners (that I made into flowers) and glittery opal… Read how I did it…
November 21st is World Hello Day. So I’m thinking that I ought to try to learn some today.
I know these four:
Hello (which is also the Scottish word for Hello)
Hola (and a few other different forms of it)
Konnichi wa
Bonjour
I’m wanting to learn these—
Norwegian
Gaelic
Russian
Hebrew
German
Chinese
—to really learn them and be able to say them off the top of my tongue.
I don’t actually have a flickr account. But I absolutely love looking at everyone else’s photos. I’d like to travel to more places and take more pictures—Meaningful pictures—so that I can have photographs to look back on and be proud of.
Of course this ties in with a lot of my other goals. I know that if I do my other goals, I’ll definitely be able to have more wonderful times and photographs from them.
This is something that I’ve always wanted and needed to do.
When I was twelve, I finally got my first set of braces. The orthodontist that I went to didn’t know what he was doing. He messed up a lot of people’s teeth, left his work, and fled. It’s a very rare case, but luckily, the next orthodontist took out the braces and my teeth were back to the way they were before. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any money left on my dental plan to ever afford getting braces again.
It’s been over seven years since then. I have a pretty big gap, and it makes me really self-conscious. My husband is in the military, and I now have dental insurance. But shockingly, I don’t think the insurance will pay for much of anything. I’m in my second year of college, and I’m just about to say “enough is enough” and spend my own money on the braces. I know I would feel better about myself if I could finally afford to get this done.
