I came to the realization that 2022 IS going to be my year. Each year we hope for a fresh start, we hope that the next year will be the year that everything comes together… we get hired at our dream job, we go on that vacation that we have been saving up for, we stick with those healthy habits. Over the past couple years I have had so many ideas that I wanted to play out and I was too scared to do them. This year will be different.

I have not been happy for a long time and I finally feel that I can get that back. I can be myself again. I’m gonna get the tattoo, I’m going to learn a new skill, I’m going to try all the new things, I am going to be happy. This is the year I take back ME.

We are now in March and I have already done some new and exciting things, which I am going to do separate blogs on. When the new year was approaching I thought about the things that would make me most happy, the things that I have been longing to do and just haven’t. The bullets I have listed have been buzzing around in my mind and I am finally going to put them into action!

• solo trip to Maine
• learn to skateboard
• skydive
• get my first tattoo
• more concerts
• take my yoga practice more serious
• mark off my bucket list

Learn to skateboard and a solo trip to Maine are a couple of the more recently conjured up ideas. I’ve always thought how exciting it would be to learn to snowboard/surf. This might sound familiar if you’ve read my Bucket List blog. But I figured skateboarding could be something that I could do more frequent. Plus, a Youtube couple I love influenced me to try it out! As for a solo trip to Maine… I’ve always had a desire to go to Maine. It has been one of the top places I’ve wanted to visit for years. I had a former co-worker always talk about how exciting and liberating it is to go on a trip on your own. From that day, I wanted to experience it for myself eventually. Come April, I will be taking a little road trip for my birthday weekend!

My first tattoo and skydiving have been lingering in my mind for as long as I can remember! I am already in the works of getting my tattoo. I have known exactly what I want, have an idea of where I want it (so TBD on that) and I reached out to someone to get something scheduled. As for skydiving, I think I want to plan that as an excursion while away. There are locations on Long Island but I think it would be more exciting to do elsewhere!

As for the other ideas I have in mind for this year, they are more so things to evolve and do more of. Yoga, concerts, traveling… these are some things put into mind that I am going to build on. I love the idea of spontaneity and trying new things. That is what this year is about. 2022 is about fun, excitement, adventure and all things for ME.

What are you looking forward to most this year?

See ya,
Samm 🌻
