Day #29

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED

Say 'I love you' to someone you've never told before, or someone you don't tell enough. You could write them a letter, make them a video, call them unexpectedly – just do it!

Okay, watching me express emotion is like watching a baby calf take it's first steps - it's usually an awkward experience (the calf looks like it's trying to dance to dub-step), there's more fluid involved than necessary, and it makes people very uncomfortable. Gross. Because of this, I probably don't tell people I love them nearly as much as I should and, you know, I watched Rent for the first time last night so love seems exceptionally important right now.

SO I sent most of my friends a text telling them I loved them including a friend I don't think I've told before. Now I am some weird combination of feelings. But that's how it goes, hey? And, hey internet, I love you too. But you already knew that.

Hahaha, some of them responded with 'you're just doing the February challenge, aren't you?' ACCEPT THE LOVE, GODDAMMIT.

GUESS WHAT GUYS! Today is the 29th - leap year, baby - which means that it's the last day of my challenge. I decided this should be the last challenge since it was the last challenge for the original January edition and it seemed like a more fitting ending than just 'making something' which I've inadvertently done a couple of times this month. As it stands I have 3 failures under my belt and 26 successes. Since I am a highly competitive perfectionist these failures do not sit well with me. Therefore, even though my month long challenge is over I will endeavour to complete these outstanding challenges at some point in the near future and update you guys accordingly.

I don't want to get too sappy because I think I've nearly reached my quota for today but these challenges have really brightened my year and pushed me to be more action-orientated. It's been a good experience and I'm glad I decided to do it.

TO THE NEXT FEW MONTHS! *raises glass*

P.S. Forgive me if there are any obvious errors in this post. My internet's been capped so downloading anything takes a century. I will go over everything when my internet isn't moving at the speed of a tortoise.
