Welcome 2020: 2019 Recap

Happy New Year everybody. This year is going to be an easy year. I won't do anything crazy or burn myself out. I'm looking forward to a year of settling into a repetitive schedule with consistent income so that I can pay off my debts (my emergency claim was refused from my travel insurance... so terrible start).

Let's see how well my 2019 goals went and then we will move on to the 2020 comprehensive list. I've achieved 9 on the "2019 Goals" list, 4 on the "Life Goals" lists and 7 on the "Other Goals" list. All up, that's 40% of my 2019 goals!!! Someone once asked if I was disappointed when I looked at my list and realised I hadn't achieved it all. That's to be expected. Generally, if I've ticked off one or two of the goals, I'm proud of myself. Especially if it's from the life goals section or high up on the yearly goals section.

Below are some achieved goals:

1. Get into at least 3 film festivals with Zombie Bro. I toured around America with my mother to attend festivals. In total, Zombie Bro was accepted into nine festivals and I attended three of them.

2. Make people around me happier

3. To help and inspire children

4. Have a job that I love doing

I now work at a Childcare centre which allows me to tick off all of the above goals!

5. See Elton John live

I managed to sneak this into the end of 2019 thanks to a bandmate but I'll be seeing him early 2020 as well.

I also achieved things not on my list.

I starred in my first Canadian feature film DON'T CLICK, playing the romantic interest of Valter Skarsgard's character, I celebrated a close high school friend marrying the love of her life, I donated eggs to a family in need, I visited the home of Motown in Detroit and I got my first paid directing job through Screen Queensland and Nice Shorts.
