It's a manifestation portal! Whatever that means! Despite how ugly the first half of January was, I feel like this year will be more positive for me.
I've narrowed down my goals for 2026 and kind of got started on them significantly earlier (like a week before 2026). Losing so much weight and obtaining a better job really put some energy into me about doing better. Granted, it's gonna take time and work to do so, but here are the goals anyway.
Cut out the soda. I started phasing the drinks out pretty early on in 2025, but I've lapsed in December. Now, I intend on cutting it out entirely for the next four months, just to see if I could. I don't think it'll be too hard, as long as I have something to drink that isn't alcoholic to replace it. I've been drinking hibiscus tea more often. It's been doing wonders for my blood pressure.
Work on my posture. It sucks. 34 years of bad posture. I don't expect to be completely cured - not unless I grow a new spine - but I want to work on keeping a good posture so that it becomes a habit.
Get back to school. This is definitely a fall 2026 goal, just because I'm not too happy with the state of things here in Texas.
This is such a ridiculous one - visit Austin. I don't know why, but I feel like something in Austin is calling to me. I'd like to visit sometime this year, but I'm debating if I want to do it in the summer (last time I went it was humid as FUCK) or in the winter. I feel like I'll end up moving there. I can't exactly say why, it's just an odd feeling.
Actually declutter. Last year, I cleared out 20 bags worth of clothing, but did nothing for my makeup and book collection. Makeup will be hard because I don't want to throw things away just because they're barely used, but I don't know what else to do with them. This year, I do intend on putting my ex's books away and donating the ones I don't read or have had for years. I just need some boxes because I have close to a thousand books at this point.
