Now What?
Alright, so now that I'm single and not looking for companionship, I realized that I have a really limited list of things that I enjoy to do. My life has always been surrounded with necessities and activities that my companions like... or that I like to do with them... or things that we'd do to avoid the activities that the other liked that we didn't like ourselves. Now, I work, I sleep, I take care of my siblings, I run, I hike, I dine out, I spend time with friends, I watch TV, I read, I spend less time on Facebook, I've spent more time writing. Those are all great. But, now what?
Just joined my company's soccer team, my friend's bowling league, and I'm thinking about kickball if they have it in the fall. But, what do I like outside of athletics? Where's my art? My learning? Well, I like doing all of those things that I'm doing (especially spending less time obsessing about guys on Facebook), but now I need to figure out what else there is to me. I tried parasailing and liked that! I've been drawing again, and I enjoy that. I think that I'd like to paint - I have some ideas on what I'd like to paint, and I'd rather it not look paint-by-numberish. I want to learn how to fix my own clothes.. and maybe make some. I want to change my oil by myself (but, supervised a couple of times). I want to learn French, German... and maybe something else. Finnish, Swedish, take up Spanish again? I want to learn how to do my hair... and learn how to deal with it all day. I want to change my wardrobe. I want to try something new with my makeup. I want to look hot! I want to learn how to dance. I want to learn how to look someone in the eye and not be afraid. I want to strike up conversations with new people; different circles of people than those that I've surrounded myself.
I want to workout, swim, Zumba, yoga, running... probably follow through with Making the Cut by Jillian Michaels.
Here are some of my ideas for Winter term:
