Twenty Twenty

Oh hey there! Hope January is treating you well. As you can see we've had a mini re-brand! 'Love on the Wall' is no more and now my blog simply goes by the same name as me. (just my URL to sort, bare with!) I've taken a step back to see how I want to use my online space this year, with a change of job too, I want it to sit nicely together and keeping it simple feels like the right direction.

So, Twenty Twenty is here!  How on earth we got here and we're not still traipsing through a rainy 2019 Feb, I have no idea. I bloomin' love a new year though, I feel all those positive vibes kick in and I feel ready to take on the world. I always find the New Year hits and I haven't started thinking about my goals for the year ahead, so instead of rushing them so I can start them the moment the clock strikes 12, I usually take a few days to really evaluate what I'd like to achieve in the next 365 days. 


More Moving. Run another 5k. 
Last year I started running (who am I?) and in September I ran my first 5k! Running was never something I enjoyed growing up but despite finding it tough, it seems to kinda work for me. I can do where ever, whenever and it's free. I want to pick it back up again - when it's not dark and 0 degrees outside, let's be honest - and enter myself into another 5k. I try not too be too hard on my body - it keeps me alive and it's a bloody wonderful thing. However, I do want to feel stronger and healthier so I hope to make a bit of a fitness journey this year to find my groove. (I'd also really like to fit comfortably into my Topshop jeans again, please, thanks.)

More Creating.
I'd like to focus on expanding my skills and creating more in 2020. Learning new ways to edit, new settings on my camera, practising more calligraphy, getting to grips with procreate on my iPad, trying new things, testing new ways. My job is creative - and at the end of last year I went part-time free lance, so it's on me now! - so I want to feel inspired and have new ideas, that won't happen if I sit in my comfort zone. I want to look back on 2020 and see work (and play) that I'm truly proud I created. 

More Cooking.
In 2019, one of my goals was to cook more and learn more recipes. With it being my first full year living in my house, this was bound to happen but I made an active effort to try new things. We actually ordered a few Hello Fresh boxes which broadened our 'go-to' recipes massively and it's ideal when we have a busy week. It's an expensive treat though, this year I'd like to work out those cupboard/fridge essentials to create quick, healthy but delicious meals from scratch at home. Ooh and to find some signature dishes that I can nail every time!

More Reading. 
There's no escapism quite like it is there? Despite that, I never dedicate enough time to getting lost in another world with a good book. I want to cut down my screen time so I really want to get into the habit of reading on my commute. I read 6 books last year, so I want to top that! More podcasts and audiobooks too - for when my square eyes need a break entirely.

More... Me?
Lately, I've been really thinking about who I am. About to get a lil deep, bare with me. I'm very easily influenced by what people around me are doing, saying, wearing, thinking, even bloody eating. Sometimes I have to make a conscious effort to make sure I'm doing something because I want to do it, not because everybody else is doing it. I'm always walking that fine line of 'am I inspired? or completely influenced?' and it's starting to play on my mind. I want to take a bit of time to find me this year - whether that's in my clothes, my political views, my photography or even what I'm having for lunch (although food envy is never a good thing, so maybe I'll continue to copy on this one...) I'm totally aware I need to remind myself I'm an actual adult more than I do - an adult with valid points, opinions, thoughts and feelings. I do think it's something that comes with age and something I feel more confident in every year. Caring about what other people think plays a huge part in this too, if I'm doing what everyone else is doing then no one can say anything - which isn't entirely true, but feels like a safe space. Saying this, I also need to remind myself it is okay to stay neutral about something or to like the same things as other people, it doesn't mean it's copying or unoriginal - maybe it's just a really great thing? Oh, what a mind f*ck. Either way, a little clarity on who I am in 2020 please. 

I think that's enough for now, we got some big ol' goals there! I'll be realistic about it, but there's nothing there that's unachievable and a lot of things that will equate to happier, healthy and more fulfilled Georgia. And I'm very much here for that.

  1. January 2020 takes me back to a time that feels both familiar and distant. It was a month marked by various events globally, from significant news events to personal milestones. Reading about it in this blog not only brings back memories but also provides a thoughtful perspective on the broader context of that time.cheap coursework writing service caught my attention. It made me ponder the diverse reasons people might be exploring content like this. Perhaps students, like myself, are not only interested in historical retrospectives but are also navigating academic challenges

  2. Last year marked the start of my running journey, including completing my first 5K, and this year I want to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in my own rhythm. Alongside fitness, I plan to create more by expanding my creative skills, learning new tools, and pushing beyond my comfort zone as a freelancer. Cooking is another focus, with goals to prepare healthy, homemade meals and master a few signature dishes. Overall, it’s about balance, growth, and consistency in everyday life. Just as personal goals need direction, students often benefit from help with nursing assignment to stay focused and succeed academically.

  3. Really captures the feeling of starting fresh and taking control of your year. Setting intentions around fitness, creativity, cooking, and self-discovery makes everything feel purposeful and motivating. It’s inspiring to see someone embrace challenges and growth in such a thoughtful way, balancing personal goals with reflection. For fans of unique and bold designs, rocking a rougarou shirt while tackling your own 2026 goals could be a fun statement—combining comfort, style, and a little cryptid energy to keep motivation high.

  5. Setting goals and creating a plan for the year ahead is such a valuable way to stay motivated and organized. Breaking down personal growth, fitness, creativity, and even cooking shows how much thought goes into building a balanced life. On a practical note, having the right tools for your daily tasks matters too. For anyone managing a fleet or personal truck, using a reliable battery lock kit for trucks ensures your vehicle batteries stay secure and properly installed, giving peace of mind while you focus on achieving your bigger goals.
