Dear readers, welcome back to another episode of my rollercoaster ride through dreams and the harsh light of reality(unfortunately).
So, let's address the elephant in the room first—consistency. Apparently, it's the name of the game, but guess who missed the memo? Yours truly - Miss Sefaidiga. I confess, I slacked off last week, and I have no excuses.
"Who Ate My Cheese?"—a book that holds the promise of enlightenment, or at least a distraction from my current funk. Stay tuned for the summary in a blog later on.
I find myself feeling somewhat. Yes, I feel so dejected, and the frustrating thing is I don’t know the source. If I knew maybe I could remedy. I found myself drawing. For those who know me, my artistic juices are fueled by sadness and tears – literally.
As for MYND, well, I'm in the middle of a tango of sorts, attempting to set up meetings with institutions for support. It's like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded.
And Livic House? The muse of creativity has left me, leaving behind absolutely nothing. Turns out, I'm not the graphic design prodigy I once fancied myself to be. Lesson learned: never trust your artistic instincts without a solid foundation of lessons and practice. It's a bitter pill to swallow, this realization that maybe, just maybe, I'm not "it." Whatever "it" may be. Skills? Talents? Relevant knowledge? The cupboard feels bare and empty, and I'm left staring at the blank canvas of my ambitions.
February just ended, the month of love and heart-shaped confetti. For me? It was a lonely month, graced by the rare February 29th. Seriously, how do people not marvel at the wonder of a leap year? In my humble opinion, February 29th should be marked not just as an extra day on the calendar, but as a moment to review our progress, our dreams, and our mid-term goals. It's a day worth remembering, don't you think?
Remember our talk about the power of twelve-week years? Yes, I'm enlisting you all as my trusty accountability partners. So, I have written down a few not-to-crazy goals. My first year is to just help get in tune and learn consistency and goal setting. Here are a few:
February 19 to April 6:
Provisional Learner's License: Now, this one's a classic case of "know thyself." I've set my sights on the learner's license only because, let's be real—I'm embracing the challenges that come with it as well. Time constraints, laziness, a procrastination, and, yes, the ever-present financial struggles.
MYND Event: I am limiting myself to one school because I already see that at week three, its only logistics being planned and I foresee myself and the team (that will be there) getting challenges in visiting these schools.
LinkedIn Connections : call of LinkedIn connections—easy as a click, but I'm aiming for substance over quantity. I'm curating my feed with care. And as a footnote to the social media presence, perhaps a child point 3.1: dipping a toe into Instagram and TikTok. I don’t understand those sites. So understand it, to use them better. So the goal is gain 800 LI followers in the first year. I mean, I have 663 now so should be 800 by year end
Closer to the Divine: Here's a confession—I've been dancing on the lukewarm side of spirituality. The remedy? A gradual departure from secular music. It's a journey of soul-searching and perhaps a few guilty "repeat" clicks on the old gospel playlist.
Mastery of the Craft: I am not sharp anymore and my work is getting affceted. My mind, once full of creativity, now is just grey and sad. Time to dust off those brain cells and get cracking!
And other first-year goals that will write down as time goes on.
Really Uneventful life. Ah wait, my brother gave me a very cute and nice necklace the other day and it left me feeling sooo wholesome!
Until next time, keep dreaming, keep creating, and remember—artistic block or not, the show must go on.
