I’ve recently started setting goals for myself and I feel really good about them. For some time I’d been in denial about having memory loss when it came to having things to do and doing things but I have to face the facts now; I am getting older and I have a lot of things on my mind everyday so I find it to be rather difficult remembering dates and such. A month ago, I bought a planner and just yesterday I began recording things into it. I feel better organized already. I know you’re probably thinking, “Why has she never used a planner before?” It is indeed 2009 but before last year, I’d never had a problem remember dates and keeping up with things but life has been so hectic that things slip my mind all of the time. Now that I’ve finally gotten out of the denial stage, maybe I won’t feel so forgetful.
I said I wasn’t going to work on my design site any time soon but I was thinking that it would be better if I just completed a little bit at a time. I have been doing mixtape covers, posters and flyers for friends and family so I figured why not put them on the site to showcase my work. I think it’s actually easier for me to complete these types of graphics because for some reason, I’m more imaginative. I’m a very simple person so sometimes I have trouble stepping out of the box and letting my imagination run wild. Even with the way that I dress, I tend to stay away from bright colors or any clothing that’s outrageous looking. Black, white, gray and navy blue are my friends when it comes to fashion. I don’t wear makeup, get my nails or hair done or get “dressy” too often. I like to keep things straight to the point and simple.
I’ve been feeling rather good lately and because of that, I’ve been more than inspired to take photos like I used to. I’m not a photographer but I like taking photos of myself and people. The photo in my sidebar was taken by me believe it or not. It’s not even a professional photo as people tend to think. I do think that I have an eye for photography though. I remember last year I actually considered being a photographer but that’s just an interest. It’s not my dream or passion. To be quite honest, I’m not too sure about my dream or passion anymore. I know it will all come together in time though.
It good that your taking the initiative to get more organized. we all have those days where things just slip our minds and we become a little forgetful. Especially when things get really hectic and crazy in life. I think the more you try and ease out of your comfort zone the easier it will become. Change can often be awkward but usually brings a nice reward =) I think you have a real knack for photography. The picture in the side bar does look professionally done, i like it!
Having too much to deal with will do that to you. I tend to forget very easily now-a-days. Getting a planner was a great idea! It’s always like that! You can always create things to other peoples liking, but when it comes to making something for yourself, your just never really satisfied with it. It’s like you expect yourself to do better. It’s nice to hear about others feeling good for a change. As far as dreams and passions, you and I are both in the same boat, because I have no idea what mines are. That picture does look professional! I can never get my photos to look like that.
Don’t feel bad girl. Hell I can’t remember shit either and I am younger than you are. Shoot. I write things on my calendar, pieces of paper I know I come across everyday, and also the calendar in my Blackberry. But I think I am pretty good with remembering things – the important things. Other little things I forget and maybe it is because I don’t want to do it and I push it to that section of my brain that I try to avoid. LOL.
I think I said something about a planner eariler in one of your past blogs, maybe credit is due to me lol. I’m pretty simple with everything myself. I hate making unnecessary moves. I wanna buy a really expensive camera one day, and take photos myself. I just notice so many beautiful things around me
I have been way organized and I still cant get things done. Knowing that I have things to do makes me drag my day on. Since this baby is on it’s way, I am more than determined to get a move on. It may work for you. Buy like cutesy planners. Makes it fun to plan.
I am no longer interested in designing anymore. I don’t know why I even have a design site. Maybe to keep as a portfolio of my past I guess.
Photography is 1st love over designing. I don’t want to pursue it professionally but it’s a great hobby next to my poetry.
btw: I have a new site. My other one wont be back for a while.
Haha oh man, my memory has been so bad this year as well. I’ve forgotten a lot of important dates, more than I should have as a 21 year old.
I can buy a planner, but sometimes, I get lazy to write in it. Eek.
