Here we are, it’s 2016, and it’s the time when people talk about New Years Resolutions, or keywords, or goals. For me this year, it’s a goal. One big goal. Specifically: move to Seattle.
A lot of people think I live there already. I keep getting invited to attend events there. There’s already a lot of “once you’re up here” plans in play. I feel like I’m going to be really happy once I get settled in and start taking classes and attending haflas.
So right now my focus is on the move. Every day I’m doing something to get myself closer to my goal. Currently I’m in the purging stage, getting rid of stuff I don’t want to pack and take with me. Although I do already have one duffle bag stuffed full of summer clothes, so I can say that I have started packing, too!
I have a couple other small goals. For dance, I’d like to perform a solo with my zills sometime this year. And for beauty/makeup, I feel like it’s really far past time I got over my aversion to curling my eyelashes. But I don’t want to bog myself down with too much that will prevent me from focusing on purging, packing, planning and preparing.
I am SO excited about this next chapter in my life, ready for the change of scenery and the opportunity to study with more dancers who I admire, not to mention being closer to my friends in Portland, too.
Stay tuned for regular updates about my progress!
