I’ve been feeling kinda down about my physical appearance for the past month (but really, let’s be real, for the past few years) and I’m stuck home for the holidays w/o a gym membership so I’ve been relying on my sister but now she’s sick. So I have been feeling really lazy.
I’ve been trying to take care of myself in other ways. I have started a better skincare routine and taking medicine for my acne. I am drinking only water, and trying to eat healthy meals, but I‘ve been failing in the snacking department. I am trying to be more food conscious.
I’ve journaled a lot about my goals for this year. Its my first year in my 20s and there are a lot of bad habits and mindsets I want to work on so I can stop making myself suffer all the time.
Well thats it.

✷ wear more fun outfits, find joy in dressing up — my New Year’s resolution last year was to wear more fun tights and I enjoyed that very much… I’m thinking like hair clips or something might be my thing this year
✷ make new friends / nurture the smaller scale friendships I do have — this one sounds a bit pathetic but it’s been a rough year! its too hard out there to feel lonely
✷ make the effort to go to exhibitions — especially those by my friends, and share photos, hype them up, I value that so much when people do it for me as weird as it feels to want the attention
✷ keep a physical journal — I really like making scrapbooks but they feel like they need an occasion, hopefully a journal will feel more day to day and record small moments
✷ I used Daylio (mood tracker) for over 365 days between 2023 - 2024 but gave up when I got too busy — I’d like to start that again in 2025 because tracking my moods was good for me to remember that I haven’t Always Been Sad
✷ take my meds every day — so stupid that I don’t already do this but getting really poorly this year has shaken me. It’s so easy to forget but I wanna be well so I can enjoy myself !!
✷ eat more fish — I love fish and also good for me
✷ allow myself time to play games and have fun !!!! I will finish pokémon omega ruby and maybe sapphire too WHO KNOWS

At the start of this year I made an effort to care more about the day to day tasks and to enjoy them and it has helped not only keep my home clean and neat but also improved my mental health

I watched Gladiator 2 the other day. I thought it would be more of a bro movie but I actually really enjoyed it. I haven’t seen the first one, but I didn’t really need to in order to understand what was happening.
