Cate Crafter

Last year was strange, boring, scary and in some ways affirming. I had hoped 2020 would be a big year for me, new year new decade and all. However, that was obviously not the case. But like in any bad situations there are lessons to be learned. So maybe 2020 can be the year I learnt and 2021 can be the year I live according to what I have learnt.

My 2021 Mood

I will listen to music that brings me joy, watch movies that inspire me. Look after my mental health and talk to someone if I feel myself slipping again. I will make art, if that’s writing a short story, painting my feelings on a canvas, recording a short film, I will just go with the flow. I won’t lose hope. I will work towards a career I’m passionate about. I will in the words of Jack Kerouac in On the Road “burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars”, because why settle for anything less?

My 2021 Goals

Achieve fluency in French - Recently I’ve avoided learning French as I kind of plateaued and I was just finding it so frustrating. But rather than just give up I’m going to work harder. This will be the year that I become fluent, no excuses.
Double my blog traffic - 2020 has been a great year for my blog and I can’t wait to take it even further.
Read 52 books - One book a week is a manageable goal (I think?)
Be more sustainable
Declutter - Get rid of physical and mental clutter.
Be creative
