Joy! Optimism! Carefree-ness! Is "carefree-ness" a word? It is now if it wasn't before.
2014 was probably one of the most "hot and cold" years I've ever had in my 20+ years of life. From stress over grades needed to graduate college (cold) to receiving my degree (hot!). From seeing people like Shonda Rhimes, Steve McQueen, Ava DuVernay, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and countless others dominating screens big and small (Hot diggity-dog!) to seeing young people like Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, and over 250 school girls dominate my small screen in ways that they should not have been. This 365-day journey had its good stretches and its rough patches, but I made it, and I want to put it all behind and march into the future.
Joy, optimism, and carefree-ness--how will Aige obtain these things in 2015? These are notes to myself:
When things get rough:
Leave the social media alone for 24 hours. Light some candles and sign in to Pandora. Watch Stormy Weather and other musicals.
How to stay in tip-top shape (mentally, emotionally, and physically):
Dance to La Lupe, Celia Cruz, Azealia Banks, and Patra as often as possible. Make your precious smoothies and name them after your favorite classic screen stars. Drink plenty of water, of course. (Note to self: order one of these asap)
Laziness buster?
Do everything computer-related in the evening. Get mom to hide your Sims game every once in awhile.
Creative juices not flowing?
Watch some classic movies, read some classic books, and listen to old time radio broadcasts.
My plans are pretty simple for now.
What do you want out of YOUR 2015?
