What I Want From 2019

I have always been someone that loves the stars. I love the constellations and astrology and astronomy and everything else that has to do with the universe that we are a part of. Thus, I believe in karma and putting positive vibes and energy out into the world. I really wanted to take the most out of my life in 2019 no matter what. Instead of posting this at the beginning of the month like many people, I thought I would post about what I want from 2019. I want to work with the universe to manifest a good year so here are a few things I want from this year.

After nine years (!!) I will be retuning to the motherland at the end of February. This trip just came to be after my grandparents become sick and timing just worked.

I haven’t announced this officially on this blog but I will be in the next few weeks! I’m excited to be leaving the United States and moving back to Asia for a year!

This goal is actually far more personal than it seems. As mentioned above, I will be visiting India after nine years away and this means I can finally see my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and more family. The older I get, the more I wish for expenses with family as an adult and I am so glad 2019 can give that to me.

This has been a goal of mine for as long as I can remember. I have spent new years in cities that I have lived in or am very familiar with but I want to spend it in a completely new city altogether. Maybe moving this year will allow me to accomplish this goal!

I have been writing since I was about eight or nine years old and 2019 is the year to truly finish a manuscript. I caught the writing fire in November 2018 for NaNoWriMo and it hasn’t left me yet so I am hopeful.

I didn’t realize how abstract this last item was going to be but as I have reflected on what I want for this year, I realized I want my love for life back. I want to explore more of the world in an open, accepting way. In the past I’d look for something specific in a place and after not finding it, I would be disappointed. Instead, I want to look at everything I find and not have any preconceived notions about anything.

In the past I used to be able to read extremely fast and still retain all of the information I read. Since I haven’t been reading as much, I have lost that speed and I’d like to get back to where I was.

This isn’t really something to improve on because I will always have anxiety but over the years I have worked diligently at become better at managing it! I want to go farther in 2019 by understanding my triggers and acting on relieving my anxiety instead of just living through it.

I become better at this in 2018 but in 2019 I want to truly have habits that become a daily part of my life. I want to become better at always doing my skincare and listening to my body because this is the only body I’ve got and I should take care of it.

I am so nervous about this movie but the teaser made me feel slightly better. I know it won’t live up to the animated movie but I want to be hopeful.

Of the three, this is the one I’m least excited for but I am eager to watch it none the less.

I am not ready to let go of this world. I will be watching this movie (hopefully) on release weekend because I have loved this series from the very beginning. It’s rare for my love for a movies series to grow throughout the years but that’s what happened with this series.

After wanting to visit this moment for my entire life I can finally cross if off my bucket list!

As I mentioned above, I’m moving to Asia this year! I hope that I can visit the Great Wall of China before 2019 is over.

I love exploring new places and I really want to take a weekend or a few days and explore a new city, regardless of which city it might be.
