#WondrousWednesdays

♥️ I have been setting a yearly on GR since 2013. I always set it, almost, ridiculously high (or low) depending on the previous year‘s success or flop. I always wanna push myself & am not afraid to reassess (I do this usually in June & then again in September-ish).

💜 Currently sitting at 144/150. I haven‘t given up yet & still plan on reaching it if at all possible.

💙 Still completely undecided & stressing out😖 tbh.
