Six Little Things I Want to Change

Recently I've been thinking about things I want to change/develop in me. Diaries or journals are so great for plotting out ideas or lists. Some of the things in my list will be small, seemingly insignificant things, others will require a lot more time and attention.
  • Save money: this is so that I can start a Masters in Linguistics, I know that languages are definitely my territory so I want to focus on learning more about them and the theory that goes with them.
  • Change body shape: last year I managed to lose about 1.5 stone (roughly 21 pounds) but recently I've been slacking off, eating bad things and not exercising. I want to find some sport of hobby that I can take up to help me lose weight. I've been considering swimming or maybe dancing?
  • Change body image: I really want to continue to grow my hair (whilst resisting the urge to dye it pretty colours) and I've been giving serious thought into getting my tattoo removed (with a laser procedure).
  • Take JLPT level 2: this is a Japanese language proficiency exam that I've been studying for in private lessons for some time, I'm wondering whether I'll be ready to take it this December or if I should wait for next summer holidays.
  • Cut down on needless purchases: I have a really awful habit of buying things because I feel like I need them. It's usually make-up or shoes but I'm trying to curb my impulse buying! I'm making small lists of things I really want or need and saving up for them instead!
  • Be creative: I want to keep writing and maybe, when I feel strong enough, take up another creative outlet. Whether it's drama, playing an instrument or life drawing I want to develop my creative skills and continue make things!
Only six things, not that many really, but if I can look back at this entry in a year's time and say that I've achieved some of them then I'll be really happy!

I think these are excellent goals to work toward! Good luck in them, and awesome accomplishments already!

I'd say swimming and dancing! Both would likely do wonders for your flexibility! 8D

Why do you want to remove your tattoo?

I'd love to do life drawing omg. I had a class of it some years ago and it was so rewarding!

Thank you so much! You're always so supportive! x)

I'm thinking of having my tattoo removed as I just feel like it doesn't suit me anymore, it feels masculine and harsh :'(
