The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

It Is Officially July

Half the year is already over. I sort of can’t believe how fast it’s going. I think the older you get the faster time seems to go by.

The first half of this year was interesting for me. It had some highs and it also had some lows. I started working full-time as a freelancer, I had some fun experiences, I started therapy again. I’ve also learnt more about myself over these last six months which has been somewhat difficult but also eyeopening.

I thought I would share some of the things I’m looking forward to for this second half of the year:

  1. Travel- I want to travel more and just go out more in general. It’s been a bit difficult to do because of work but if I plan myself well I think I’ll be able to schedule myself so that I can travel and work too.
  2. Have a spa day– this may come as a shock to some of you but I’ve never been to a spa. I really want to go to one though so I am hoping to go soon.
  3. Art- my mum and sister are giving me one of their canvases so that I can do some actual painting. Some of you may remember that I have been doing some painting on an app on my phone but I want to do some real art now.
  4. Guitar- one of my goals this year was to learn to play guitar, however, I still do not own one. Apparently they are a little expensive (that was sarcasm they are a lot expensive) so I’ve been saving up to get one and I think next month I’ll have enough to get the one I’ve had my eye on. Here’s to annoying all of you by learning every Johnny Cash song ever and sharing videos on WP!

That’s it for now. That I can think of at the moment anyway. What are you looking forward to during this second half of the year? Let me know in the comments below!

    Can make your own spa day at home. Take turns doing spa stuff on you, Mom and sister. Could bring you closer together. Just an idea. Happy Canada Day! July 1 is Canada Day!🇨🇦

      I can but I don’t want to haha. My sister and mum don’t like people touching them so I’ll probably have to find a friend to do the spa day with.

      Happy Canada day- hope you had a good one! 🇨🇦

        That would make it hard. I’m not a fan of being touched either 🙂 Not sure how they would tolerate cucumber eye treatment or facial masks….would kind of suck if they hated it.

    Enjoy playing the guitar and I look forward to the videos 😊 I have been playing for many years – you never stop learning. If you can learn these four chords first, you will be able to play many different songs: G Em (E minor) C and D.

    I’ve never been to a spa either but that’s cause I have a phobia of strangers touching me. 🙈
    I so badly want to travel in the second half of the year. With work and family stuff, I had to cancel two trips in the last two months. But I hope to get in a few outings in the next 6 months.
    I hope you’re able to do these all. ❤️

    My main hope for the rest of the year is to grow my business and hire one more person. *Fingers crossed*

    Are you after a real spa day or to be pampered by someone? Expecting One and getting the other may dilute your craving however, without any experience, how else will you know which is truly desired? I’ve found, that life requires different levels of patients and flexibility to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. The short-term goals are in the present moment whereas long-term goals may mean a number of seasons to finish. Painting is a great way to feed and utilize your creativeness. My painting craving comes in stages as does learning another language. I’ve learned I am happier when I don’t burden myself with unnecessary or arbitrary deadlines. As long as I work towards my goal in seasonal chunks, I’ve neither failed to finish nor found it too overwhelming to complete. Writing has become my constant, my North star, sort to speak. Travel was also one of my goals that I haven’t been as steadfast at doing, yet I remain flexible and open that I will in due time. Enjoy, and love whatever it is you do or pursue.

      Definitely a spa day. I want to get a massage, my nails done and all the rest of it lol.
      My art cravings are like that too. When I’m in the mood it’s a perfect creative outlet and when I’m not it’s just something I avoid.
      I hope you can travel soon. That would be great.

    Hi, Pooja. Awesome post. I hope 2022 holds much more interesting endeavors for you and I am sure it will. I like your goals for 2022. The goal that relates to me in some way is that of Travel.

    Personally, I would like to spend more time outdoors in general. As of now, the majority of my time is spent in front of my laptop screen doing my university work or freelance work. So I guess I am going to need to manage my time better and make time for myself.

    Other than that, I also wish to hit at least 400-500 posts on my WP website by year-end. As of now, I have about 90. Another passive goal that I would like to meet is obtaining a good figure to fill in the traffic stats [visits, likes, etc.] of my WP site. For example, if I can have about 50 page views in a day before the end of 2022 then I will know that my site is reaching people and agreeing with them. But this one doesn’t really matter to me for now, as for now, I am focusing on the knowledge base of information available on my site.

    Working on my 2022 goals: nutrition changes, getting more house cameras set up, cleaning out my jewelry armoire, learning my Canon camera, vlog growth, blog growth, cleaning out the basement, traveling. I will soon do a similar post with what all was accomplished versus not. What we accomplished was getting a dog, cutting our cable costs by streaming, decorating my office, and learning Final Cut Pro. It’s been a slow year but steady! Oh and I started exercising this year and we are focusing more on nutrition! I love having goals. It pushes me! I like your goals too. You can break them up and get specific and reach small little steps at a time! Have a good weekend

    Pooja, nice post! Thank you for sharing. It is really neat to read about your reflection halfway through the year. I too can’t believe it’s already July! Traveling is always great but I feel like with everything going on and the number of canceled and postponed flights makes it difficult to get around via plane. I have definitely turned to road trips close to home because of this as well as the price of airplane tickets. This has helped me open my eyes to the natural beauty I’m surrounded by in my area. There is a lot to do here that I never even realized. Sometimes when we go beyond the surface we find things that we didn’t even know were there. Thanks for the post!

    Best,

      Thank you! You’re so right. Traveling is so difficult right now with the airlines overbooking and flights getting postponed. It’s also quite expensive. That’s why I’m also hoping to do more traveling in my area. Sometimes we miss hidden gems in our area because we’re traveling in other places.
