These past few days I've really wanted to reflect on what all happened in my life last year. It's so damn hard to sit down and do something like this, in fact I've spent the last 40 minutes pissing about looking at trash on the internet!
Anywhere here goes, lets see what waffle I can come up with!
Isn't is crazy that a year can go by without you reflecting on it one bit, what is the point of life if you can't slow down and and enjoy the good times, or even find the time to do something different and new.
I honestly cannot believe that I took one photo every single day on my iPhone, and that it is now all over. It feels so strange not looking around for that little bit of something not everyone sees. I miss it, yet love the fact that I'm free of it. The moment however is now gone, it just wouldn't be the same if I was to do it all over again. That project is over, so watch this space for the 365 book!
I find it extremely difficult to think of my achievements over the months, but that's just typical me, moving from one project to the next, not thinking, just doing and not even perhaps knowing why I'm doing it.
I have actually just found a list of New Years Resolutions from 2005! (did i just skip on to the next topic rather quick?) I'll not post them as they are a tad lame, but I pretty much achieved them all. From fitness, to job progression, and also more photography. I have also taken another look at my bucket list of which I can score a few more things off. So things seem to progress without seemingly actively doing something about it, perhaps my subconscious is better than I think. Talking of subconscious, remember when I used to do these things ? Damn I need to badly get back into all that, more painting and generally being much more arty. Perhaps it's time to be a bit more selfish and do exactly what I want. The degree I am doing along with full time work is taking up every hour pretty much, but it's not forever and we can all learn how to time manage a bit better. God I sound like a machine or something, actually sometimes I think that I am!
All in all 2010 certainly wasn't a bad year, I've seen a lot of Facebook updates saying they are glad to see the back of 2010. I definitely don't think that. I have done a lot this year, let me see if I can come up with some highlights, come on Karen do it!
ok so I've completed my HND in photography, and started my degree in Creative Imaging, sold some artwork, I've progressed in work the way I've wanted to, I have been to London, seen shows, gone to gigs, taken a photo every single day, painted, played golf, eaten in michelin star restaurants, had a thai massage (never again) studied and learnt new things, taught other people new things, been told I'm an inspiration, completed a counselling course, drank a lot of wine and had a blast with a lot of friends along the way!
Right that was hard for me so I'm done.
There's plenty of things i want to change for 2o11, but you know what, I'm just going to keep those to myself...
Happy 2011, lets make this one count
