2015 in a list

Painful

Almost losing my finger when surfing. Accidentally had the leash around my finger when a strong wave took my board away.

Resolutions

My resolution for last year was to take a photo every day, in hope that this would spark my creative photography again. I didn't keep that resolution, though I have photographed more this past year. I've started using Instagram which I think is one of the reasons why I was a bit able to keep that resolution.

The new resolution for 2016 is to visit the theatre at least once a month. It doesn't matter what kind of show it is, if its theatre, dance or musical. I just want to spend more time experience creative pieces that surely will inspired me to create myself.

The year to come

2016 will be another big year in my life as me and my partner are going to find a way to live together. This gets rather tricky as we have to find a location where we both can work. And it kind of has to be two workplaces where English is spoken also. So yeah, it is a bit of a tricky puzzle. But we have a few ideas, some that we have to wait a while before we'll know if they'll work out. But hope is that we will live together by the later half of the year.

I'm very nervous about switching workplace, since I do feel like there's a huge gap in my skills and those that would be required by me at a new workplace. I will try and work on those skills after work, but I know that I have a hard time getting things done by myself. Tried to apply to a distant course, but didn't get in. I find it a lot easier to get things done when there's deadlines.

There are lot of fun things planned for this year. Horse show, Legoland and Phantom are a few that are for sure. There's also some loose plans for Crete and exploring the northern Scandinavian.

I also hope that this will be the year when I become more healthy. My body has so many problems that I really should start taking better care of it. The vegetarian diet I've had hasn't really given me enough nutrition, which needs to be fixed. I will also start trying chiropractic treatment for my RLS, which keeps me from sleeping well. A visit to the dentist is also needed, haven't been at one for many years now. So as I'm now coming home from my vacation and to the reality of this new year, I have a lot of appointments to book.

The year that passed

I feel a bit shocked and overwhelmed when looking back to the start of 2015. It feels like a lifetime ago since I was there and I've forgotten so much. I was in Marrocco, surfing, last year, don't really remember doing that. 

The start of last year was quite difficult. I has been torned in relationship drama the whole winter, which hurted so badly and I feel so ashamed when looking back. Hindsight makes you wiser and it also makes me critical of the person I were. But I know that I did my best in the situation I was in, however big of a mess it now may look like. 

With the spring came huge changes. I went from being a student to my first real job. It was such a huge relief and a burden of my shoulders when the contract was signed. I have a finical security and I've taken one of the biggest steps in my adult life. The world is open in a whole new way.

This year has been filled with weekendtrips all around in Europe, since I'm in the spring also started a new relationship with a man who now lives in Austria. It has been a wonderful time, filled with new cities, musicals and love. 

And my relationship and work has been what mostly taken up my time this year. It started with these big changes and I've now finding my place in this new life I have.

The times they are a-changin'

Been away in the land down under for a while and have completely left reality back on the northern hemisphere, but it is time for some resolutions for the new year and reflections on the old.

Just as I'm starting to write this, Bob Dylan started to sing the very fitting song, hence the title.

Okay, I'll see you in a different post, make sense to separate the old and new year.
