On 2022

As silly as it may sound, this is kind of going to be a new year's resolutions and goals post. In 2021, I want to believe I matured and grew, and most importantly, I turned a year older, I am finally 18! The feelings and illusions of being 18 are matters that I shall discuss in another post. I wouldn't necessarily say that I am proud of 2021 and who I am right now, but it's still impressive to me how I made it this far. In 2022, I want to grow and mature more, especially in the realm of independence and self-exploration. I can be vibrant with goals but struggle to paint all the colors of my missions. However, I am not going to give up. 2022 has to be a great year (I hope I didn't jinx it). It's the year I graduate and start a new journey in my education by going to college. I want to start the year optimistically.

Continuing from the previous year, I have some goals that I hope can be expanded.

Work on my business

Currently, my business has been existing for six months now. Right now, in the products, I'm selling clay jewelry and crafts online. First, I hope this year I create more of an online presence and post more of my artwork. Second, this year is to be at least halfway into being able to print stickers, which includes owning a printer, being able to scan my designs, and figuring out my shop art style and icons. Besides the stickers, I want to expand on clay and ceramic products such as sculptures, dishes, and pins. Lastly, I hope that by the end of 2022, I hope I have made at least 50 sales.

Reading and Writing

It is unacceptable that I do not read for pleasure. I want to expand the horizons of my lexicon and literary/social awareness through books. Books are essential and should not be symbolic of homework and chores. In my personal and humble opinion, schools have ruined the magic of books. My goal for 2022 is to read at least ten books in my own time and for fun! Right now, I have some books at hand that I want to indulge in but still have to look for more. Overall, I am going to push myself to read more.

I have not written a script or simply chapters of one of my stories with writing, and I hope in 2022, I can engage and make time for writing as a hobby again.

Lastly, with this goal, I want to announce I will be posting more of my stories and book reviews!

This blog!

I enjoy writing so much, and I want to work more on self-expression and sharing my opinions. My 2022 goal is to be less shy about my feelings and post on this blog at least once a week, hopefully every Tuesday.

Job and Car

Having a job and a car is vital to adulthood (more of my legal age stress that I will get into later). By the end of 2022, I want to be employed and a licensed driver

Be in college!

I believe this goal will be easy since I am already registered, though I want it to be principal in my life to be a college student and happy with my field of study. I am 99.99% sure I will love social work and studying to become one.

Wish me luck and have a happy new year!

P.S. Please comment or contact me for book reviews and recommendations! Thanks.
