2019 goals

Just like that 2018 was over and we are into 2019, 2018 was a mixed year personally . I’ve never been a goal setter until the past year I feel like writing down what I want to do for this year at least I can look back. 

Firstly let’s have a recap at my 2018 goals, first it was FOMO which is fear of missing out I feel like I’ve got so much better at this, I think because I haven’t had the headspace to think about other people it hasn’t bothered me at all what others have been doing, it’s not a competition I have my whole life to do the things I want. Next was Blog and this I haven’t stuck with I like some of the posts I have written this year but again I’ve not put the time and effort and because I’m so busy with work it’s now just an after thought. Driving this I did do something about after a long time looking I finally got a decent instructor through RED driving school in July, I have failed one test and got another coming up, I’m proud of myself because I didn’t think I’d like driving but I enjoy it so much, we shall wait and see now with that. Moving out was always going to be a long shot and it didn’t happen in 2018 but instead we’ve made decisions that have put things in motion instead. Lastly, time was a big thing and I don’t think I got any better at this, if anything I’ve got worse. For example I finish early at work twice a week and one of them days I fill with a driving lesson and the other I normally fill with something else like getting my nails done. I definiately need to get better at that.

Let's get into my goals for 2019:

Pass My Driving Test:

This is the final step in the process now, I've been learning for about 6 months and also I have passed my theory, so now I just need to pass the practicial I've failed one so now to try again.

Move Out

This is the biggest thing for me this year, I need to move out and have my own space as I live at home currently and have to share a room with my 18 nearly 19 year old sister and I'm 25 this year so yeah it needs to happen. Also me and Darren have been together for 8 years this year so it seems like a natural progressive step.

Blog

I think this year it's going to be a final attempt with this blog because I've been doing it now on and off for about 3 years now and too be honest I don't make time for it anymore and I don't try to. Also I've run out of ideas of what to write. I want to try one last time and because of the direction life seems to be going, I don't think right now this blog is going with it but we'll give it a go one last time if needs be.

Stop Worrying

I struggle with this especially in regards to my job where I have a lot of pressure put on me and when things don't get done it plays on my mind and it is very difficult for me to stop thinking about it even when I try and go to sleep. I know this isn't healthy and I don't know what to do about it if I'm honest but I'm determined to do something about it because it isn't healthy at all.

Slow Down

Another big one for me is I need to slow down I don't need to fill my spare time with everything I could possibly imagine, I'm young I have my whole life ahead of me I don't need to do everything right now. I addressed this earlier in my 2018 look back in regards to time, I now fill it too much and I need to slow down otherwise I will burn myself out. I'll do my best because I feel like I'm constantly on autopilot these days and can't come off it and I need to do something about it.  

So they are my 2019 goals, I know this post is a couple days late but unfortunately I started 2019 with a horrible cold that I'm only just getting over. Other than that I hope 2019 is going to be a good year, we shall see what happens.

Until next time

Review- Everybody’s Talking About Jamie Tour

This weekend I went and watched the tour cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. I’ve not seen this show before but it has been on my list for a long time. I’d only heard one or two songs before so I was going in with no ideas of what it was like and I found it very enjoyable. Background This is based on the true story of 16 year old Jamie New who dreams of being a drag queen as well as wearing a dress to his prom. Throughout the show we see Jamie go through a journey of self discovery which has so many highs and lows. Along the way we meet people who are and aren’t supportive of his dream and how much prejudice he has to contend with. The show first opened on the West End in 2017 and is currently on its second UK tour. Cast The cast of this show were fabulous, unfortunately didn't get to see Ivano Turco play Jamie, Finton Flynn was incredible in those red heels. He portrayed the emotion of playing Jamie perfectly as well showing the young silly ...

Carrie Hope Fletcher Book Signing

Hey Guys On Monday 12th September I attended Carrie Hope Fletcher's book signing for her fiction book On The Other Side at the Glee Club in Birmingham. This is the second time I have met Carrie and once again she was an absolute pleasure to listen too. I attended this event on my own, and I must stay that I think the Glee Club and the Waterstones team planned and hosted the event so well considering there was 350 people that turned up to this event and each one of those people had bought a ticket and a book. We were seated quite early as doors opened at 6 and I was in a seat by 6:30 with the event starting at 7, however there were people who turned up 10 minutes before the event and had to stand up because of all the seats that were taken which gives you an idea of how many people attended this event. Before the signing of the actual books, there was a 40 minute question and answer session with a representative from Waterstones asking Carrie questions about her book, being...

Review: Beauty and the Beast Musical

In March, me and two of my friends went to see Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at the Birmingham Hippodrome. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite Disney films and I was excited to see what this interpretation had in stall. The fairy-tale was first adapted into the much-loved Disney animated film in 1991 and became a Broadway production in 1993. The show opens with the familiar voice of Angela Lansbury and the enchanting music that we all recognise and with the help of the beautiful rose projection we are transported into the magic. Director Matt West leaves the story exactly how it is, only adding extra bits of comedy here and there which the audience engage with easily. The cast all suit their characters and portray them to perfection. Grace Swaby- Moore, understudy to Courtney Stapleton, was the embodiment of Belle, she captured the innocence of the character and belted the songs to perfection. Shaq Taylor portrayed the Beast will emotion and ferocity when needed. His voice ...
