I have been BOLD in situations when I’ve joined new groups, petitioned for open spaces, found new dwelling spaces, or tried to redefine the perimeters of my existence.
I would have been BOLD if I’d told my neighbours that their sound system wasn’t just bothering me, but was an infringement on the peace of the whole neighbourhood.
I could be BOLD and decide to seek out ways to earn my keep through my art.
Aside from all that, and being mindful of the definitions, I will be BOLD in:
- acquiring new skills
- joining environmental clean-up groups
- getting a new, healthy body
- finding ways to meet people in my community
- looking for a new style of clothing
- breaking chains of monotony (which would be encompassed with all of the above and below)
- seeking out ways to earn 100% of my keep through my art
