Goals, in depth.


Lose weight - I am overweight. I accept that, and as far as confidence and self esteem goes I have it to the point of arrogance. I know I'm gorgeous and super curvy, but I also know that I am carrying too much weight, it's not healthy and I want to change that. 4/5 stone loss is my goal and will put me at a healthy weight.

Tone up - exercise goes hand in hand with losing weight, even simple things like walking more. Why lose the weight and still wobble?!

Eat better in general, mostly vegetarian, because I like it better and don't feel great about eating animals. I don't like meat very much in general and lose weight better following the Slimming World (SW) plan on green - carbs, carbs, carbs! :D

Read more ;) classics, modern, poetry, smut, everything and anything. I've always read lots, books are my passion, but I want to read more. More classics, more poetry, more everything.

Get a job - a must, difficult as it has been so far I'm not going to give up. I've been in university, but having just graduated and being out of work for over a year I want to work, I want my own money. I'm bored when I don't have some kind of work to do, and can't focus on my writing as well knowing I don't have any source of income.

Write a novel. Or two. (Dreaming big here). It's going to happen. I have about five projects going on, some a lot longer than others that will be getting more attention, and one massive project that I've been writing for years and now need to re-write. 

This may seem boring but to me it's important, I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but that's okay. Because I need this in my life.

That's all for now, I'm sure everything will get more exciting when I've laid down the basics and start getting somewhere.

They may seem trivial, but I'm not trying to set the world right, I'm trying to set my world right. Mind, body & soul. I'm sick of being the person who says 'oh I'll start a diet tomorrow, I'll do this tomorrow etc.', from now on it's about being in the moment.

Fresh starts.

Hello and welcome to my blog! It will be anonymous (just call me Quil), so even though no names will be mentioned or personal pictures shown it will be a very personal blog, an online diary of sorts.

As the post title suggests, this blog marks...a fresh start. What better time than returning from a holiday to see things from a new perspective. I've spent too long not embracing exactly who I am. I've always been very open and honest, and never cared for what other people thought of me, but I wanted to get back to basics with myself and my life.

Family, friends, nature, simplicity, Disney, Harry Potter, reading, writing, music, travelling, animals, individuality. Living as happily and peacefully as possible. I have a very hippy, natural mentality and I want to embrace that to its fullest. This blog will chronicle just about everything in my life; from struggles with depression to my literary ambition. My life will be played out, for real and here.

I hope you join me in my journey towards embracing life to its fullest extent, in every way I possibly can.

Here's to living life, having fun & not regretting anything.
