hello hello hello!

One goal, one month


Exactly what I am aiming for for the next year. One goal per month. The problem is that there are so many teenagers like myself who have these huge dreams, ambitions, want to make a change but we don't know how or where to start. Maybe because we're shy or embarrassed to share that we truly want deep down, who we are. No one wants to be left vulnerable and hurt or laughed at for something they dream of. 


Why am I doing this? I haven't had the easiest life, losing my brother from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), a nasty divorce between my parents influenced by drugs and abuse, losing our house and moving in with my grandparents but through out it all I have grown into a strong, independent individual always finding the light to the other side, because the sad truth is everyone has a story that could break your heart. We all have our own getaway when we don't want to face the world. When I was too depressed to face reality I'd drift off into my goals, dreaming them and then eventually drawing them out, drawing still is my biggest get away from life where I can get lost and all my thoughts are focused onto one thing that can make me happy no matter what. The only problem is drawing your dreams on paper isn't the same as really living them. But where do I begin? Will people laugh? A thousand thoughts ran through my mind, the time I realized was now. What was I even waiting for? They don't just happen on their own you have to take hold and just, start. I know I'm good at putting things off but if I'm forced to write about it, forced to share it, do whatever to make it public and known I'll have to follow through. Call me cheesy but if I only did this for myself I'd feel...Selfish, unaccomplished, sure I'm finally doing what I'd love to do but it would go unnoticed, I wouldn't be helping anyone along the way. 


I'm going to share my twelve goals for the months coming up, starting May first. I wont go into description about them until it's the month of them because each one of them has a story behind it for why I want to do them.


May - Create a painting
June - Start making healthier choices, take care of my body
July - Learn the guitar on my own
August - Bikini car wash fundraiser for SIDS
September - Further tattoo career
October - Independence
November - Face a fear
December - Volunteer for homeless
January - Meet a role model in my life
February - Spread the love
March - Go to Japan
April - Surprise!


So here I am, hoping to not only inspire myself but you as well. I don't care if you're thirteen or fifty, as long as I can even inspire you and just you, that's satisfying enough for me. 


Live your life
