In 2018, my goals largely focused on self care and developing better habits for both my physical health and mental health, and I'd definitely like to keep going in that direction.
This year, I want to work on being more independent and being in control of my emotions, rather than vice versa. ;v; I want to be my own motivator, to be able to pull myself out of a ditch, to be my own precious treasure, to never feel empty when my life is so vibrantly flourishing. In 2019, I thrive on self care and self love!!

Eva, you're such an inspiration! You're extremely hardworking, driven, motivated, genuinely kind and humble!!! I hope to be more like you. (for real tho) I hope 2019 is a good year for you :D
ReplyDeleteT____T I really appreciate your kind words!! Especially since I was wondering if I was being too self absorbed. Let's both do our best and have a great 2019 💕💕 I wish you all the best tooo!
DeleteHi Eva,
ReplyDeleteA new kind of follower here? ^^ been coming here and there but haven't been able to get the chance to comment so this will be first ahaha. To be honest, I also wanted say Happy new year back when it was actually the start of the New Year or Chinese New Year but it's pretty much beyond late- given that it's March now lol. Anyways, what I also wanted to say in addition to this, is that you have a great new year resolution here and that it inspires me to make one myself (I put it in my blog too so I hope you don't mind- don't worry, I have credited you ahaha ^^)- it pretty much is kind of motivates you which is good to get by for the year hehehe. I also like the layout of your blog too- it gives a nice feel! Anyhow, Have a good day!
Waaa nice to meet you Adeline!! Sorry I hadn't checked my comments page in a while and missed this but I was super happy to see your comment ToT And even happier to have a new blog friend since many of my friends don't use blogs anymore ♥ Hope you have a nice day too! See you around!
DeleteOMG, Eva!! 💕Just saw this and again, I would have never thought you would comment (and even seem to follow my blog!?!) >.<. So happy! I thought I would give it a try and comment on your blog since I've been coming over to your blog from time to time and continuously support you in the background ahaha. Anyway, it's so nice of you to do so- A nice surprise!! 😊- I finally manage to learn how to follow you back through blogger lol XD I can say the same too-It's quite rare to see people with blogs I feel, and quite sad to know not many people use them anymore with many turning to use social media nowadays. Yes, see you around!! Hope we can be friends ^^
ReplyDeleteAhh hi again Adeline!! And yay I'm so glad you saw my comments; I wasn't sure if you would since they were set to approval only ahah. Hope you're having a good day 💕💕💕
