So maybe you've noticed (or more likely, you have not) that I haven't posted anything here since October. Hahaha, oops.
I actually wrote out a full post in November, and then never got around to editing it, and now it kind of makes no sense to post as is. There were a lot of what if's since I wrote it just a few days before I started on my braces again. So someday soon I will grab some pieces of that and update you all on the exciting movements of my teeth.
Til then...
It's time for my annual year in review post! This is obviously a little late since it is now 2018, but I couldn't just skip over my tenth year of reviewing my (mostly) boring life! So let's get to it!
Overall I wouldn't describe 2017 as terrible, even though it was weirdly a really difficult year for me. There was so much good to outweigh the bad, but then again it's a proven concept that people look back on things fondly even when they totally sucked.
ANYWAY
I kept my goals fairly vague last year, because honestly I have no idea who even reads this besides my parents, and I like to remain ~mysterious~
Really though, it's all typical stuff, and I mostly never accomplish any of it!
1. I wanted abs.
I did not get abs. 5 years ago started my obsession with getting abs, but I just love eating pasta too much. I did buy an exercise bike, though I mostly just hang my laundry on it...
This year I'm not going to force the abs thing, but if I can somehow gain some self control when it comes to carbs maybe I will get them.
2. I wanted to do more art.
So, did I? I kept up with my blog fairly often, and I did some drawing here and there. Whenever I say I want to do more art I picture myself quitting my day job to wear those flowy pants all day while I paint masterpieces in my non-existent flower garden.
I have accepted that if I want to actually paint something good I really have to practice drawing again. It's a tough habit to create but maybe I'll do it this year??
3. I wanted to do more "grown up things" aka pay off my braces/car or learn to make real meals.
I haven't paid off my car, but I'm pretty damn close, which is actually so exciting!
I also didn't really get too adventurous cooking-wise either, but I did start making my food more often than going out!
This year's goals are going to be basically the same as last year's, and I think that's fine. I know it's like a clean slate or whatever but I also try to remind myself that you can make changes any time you want, so see you in May when I start working on those abs!
I will be skipping the top 5 formula this year, and decided instead to share a few photos that stuck out as I looked through them. Not to say I did nothing fun this year, but I do think it was more defined by some smaller moments:
 |
| My baby, who wakes me up on the regular |
 |
| my heroes, ben & jerry |
 |
| This photo warms my heart every time I see it. Just some innocent cows hangin' out, gonna go cry about it! |
 |
| Admiring nature in true 2017 fashion |
 |
| me and dat boi |
 |
| my dearest sibs |
 |
| this one made me laugh out loud for real |
There's probably a lot more I could say, but a picture speaks a thousand words, and my hands are so very cold I must end this soon!
To wrap up I'l give some good tunes that got me through the year:
1. Runaway - Matt Corby
2. Drought - Andrew Belle
3. Wishing Well - The Oh Hellos
4. Past Lives - BORNS
5. Cut To the Feeling - Carly Rae Jepsen
I'd be lying if I said I was going to miss 2017. I feel like 2018 has a lot more to offer; I have learned so much about myself in the last year, and for once I feel like I have some direction! Again, vague vague vague; someday soon I'll write a real blog about it. Until then, thanks for reading my ramblings about my teeth and my journey~~~
I'm not one for being sincere, but I'm looking forward to -- ehh, never mind.
BONUS here's a recent pic of me SMILING u guys. S M I L I N G. By the end of the year (for really real) I will have the best damn teeth ever, and I will never* frown again!
*most likely untrue
BYE
Recommended Listening: Delicate - Taylor Swift
The whole album is amazing of course, but this one is officially my fave
