It is now 2013. How bizarre is that? I don't feel any different or anything crazy, but it's still awesome to know that 1) the world didn't end 2) it's time to refocus myself and 3) I get to set new goals.
This year is going to present many opportunities for me to experience life. I am. so. excited.
To recap 2012, it was quite the year. Many absolutely wonderful things and things that I'm glad I got to learn from. I discovered who my honest, true friends are and I learned how much I truly love my family, especially my parents. It makes me happy that I made it through yet another year and learned so many things. I'm also stoked that I get the chance to refocus and become even better than I was last year.
So far, I've got a couple goals in mind. I hope that I will honestly stick to them this year, because in all reality, I couldn't tell you what my goals were last year.. obviously I was really motivated. These are just the ones I've come up with in the past three days. I'm hoping that I will come up with more. There's nothing wrong with setting a million goals, as long as they're achievable.
1) You can't overuse please and thank you. I realized that people are very ungrateful and have close to no manners. It makes me sad because everyone has something great to offer and it often goes unrecognized. I hope that I will learn better manners and make people feel good about what they are doing.
2) Think something mean, say something nice. Unfortunately, I'm quite opinionated and say exactly what I'm feeling, regardless if it's mean or nice or unnecessary. I'm hoping that I can work on becoming more positive and uplifting. Every thought, word or action starts a chain reaction.
3) Before social networking, make sure everything else is done; such as homework, personal progress, chores, reading, and anything else worthy of my time. I hate that everyone's lives are becoming overrun by our phones, the internet and social networking drama. I want to talk to someone without them trying to upload a picture to Insta or check their Twitter feed. I know that I need to work on this too.
4) NO more swearing. Sadly, I've gotten into a habit of saying things when I get mad or trying to be funny. It's simple, I just have to stop. I haven't said one yet this year. 3 days in and going strong. hahaha
Two thousand thirteen is going to be a year of new hopes and learning. I'm going to put myself out there to have fun and never regret anything. Recently, my bff Abbi posted something about living every single day like it's your last; to make sure that each day has something memorable because we won't ever have that same day again. I'm going to love like I've never been hurt, mend relationships with old friends and forgive those who have hurt me as well as apologizing to those that I know I've hurt. If I've done something unintentionally, I apologize now. I'm honestly trying to be better. There is nothing in this world that can take me down or stop me from doing what I want...unless my mom says no. I hope to travel and help people I never thought I could. I hope that I will make new friends and learn patience. I hope that I never forget who is most important to me (that will be hard). I hope that I never stop making mistakes as long as I know how to fix them. I hope I try new things, listen to different music, dance a new dance, and never stop taking pictures. I hope that I can influence those around me. I hope I read a million books. I hope I live life like nobody will ever take it away. I hope I live like I am infinite.
So, raise your glass to 2013. Show us what you're made of, baby! And to those of you ready to refocus and make new goals, I wish you the absolute best luck and have faith that you will accomplish your endeavors. Much love, my dears.
