Hey Friends, and welcome back!
I’ve been gone for a while, and with this post, I’m not saying I’m back on a regular basis again, just to warn you. Hehe. However, today, I had the feeling, and the longing to share my thoughts. I truly think I need this space, a channel to share exactly what I’m feeling and thinking. Whenever. However.
It’s first of May today. Also, from now on, called my birthday month! Yeah. I’m turning 33 towards the end of May (20th to be exact), and with that, I’m beginning my 34th year of living. How cool is that? I’ve made it this far, and hopefully have many years to come!
To be honest, I feel like my life is starting all over again, the sickness of my eating disorder is not my whole “life” anymore. There are other things to focus on. I still have a while to walk on the path of being free from it, but almost every day, I’m making progress in leaving it behind me, and it’s such an amazing feeling.
I’m also in a phase where I’m trying to minimilize my life when it comes to stuff. I don’t want to have tons of clothes – I prefer to wear pieces that I know where they come from, have a transparent business (where you know the process of making it and not many middle hands in between). I would much rather pay a little more for quality and good business values, instead of paying a mass company, with horrible working conditions for its employees, and so forth. I’m also making a change of the products I’m using (make up, etc.), to know if it has been tested on animals or not, and what ingredients it has. Ok, I’m not gonna get completely stuck in this subject right now, it can be its own post. However, my point is, that I’m trying to go through things I own, give it away or sell it, in order to own less. My goal is to know exactly everything I own and where it’s placed, to know where it comes from, and the process of making it.
In order to reach some things I really want to aim for, I’ve decided to set up some various goals for the month of May. I thought it could be a neat monthly tradition, where towards the end of the month, I go through my goals and see what I need to give more time doing or scratch from the list, or what I’ve done. No pressure, but pure joy and getting the feeling of working towards what’s important in my life right now. Here we go:
My May Goals
- Continue going through stuff – get rid of things and organize the rest.
- Plan a kitchen renovation.
- Learn more about running a business.
- Start using Lightroom (a photo editing software) on a regular basis.
- Cook at least once a week, perhaps twice.
- Try pole dancing.

So wonderful and welcome back to you too! I am giong to read what you want to share, gladly 🙂
Thank you, my friend <3
HOW did I miss the opportunity of teaching you to pole dance while you were here??? Ah well. All I can say is DO IT. So much fun and best work out ever. Though also very very painful at the beginning. Prepare yourself for bruising at incredibly unfortunate places 😛 xx
I hadn’t realized it then! 🙂 A new friend of mine runs a pole dance studio and I met her after we were in Ireland so you didn’t miss it 🙂 I truly think I’m gonna start doing it, looks like so much fun, and I’ll be prepare for bruises. Haha. Love ya’<3
Minimilizing is an awesome goal! It’s also my theme of May and it feels so so good! I already sold stuff at a fleemarket and online at ebay and gave away huge bags of clothes as a donation. It’s only now that i realize how much this stuff has pulled me down. But there’s still a lot left for the rest of the month 😉 And yay for poledancing! This has long been a dream of mine but I always feared that I’m not strong enough for it. I would love to know how it works out for you. Also I’d like to know how you like Lightroom, my colleage said it’s a lot better than Photoshop but I’m not sure. Have a wonderful May!
Thank you for leaving a footprint here <3 Yeah, minimalizing everything feels SO GOOD!! That's awesome, you've been feeling stuff and gotten rid of stuff! Go You! I'll keep you posted how the rest of May has gone with my little list of things! Thank you and you too!!
