So it is once again a new year. A new year with new problems, new challenges, new joys, and hopefully new friends. I feel like it was just the new year of 2008, and here we are already in 2009. And I say GOOD RIDDENS 2008!!!! Sure it was a good year in some aspects…I was incredibly blessed in many ways. Unfortunately I also repeated some of the same old bad decisions that seem to bring me down each year. For me 2008 was a year of finding independence, learning to trust new people, facing some of my fears, and experiencing an abundance of academic success. All in all, 2008 was a year about learning about myself and “falling into” the person I am going to be. After all of my experiences last year I have learned to stand up for myself, and that it’s ok to eliminate sources of drama.
So here’s to 2009, a year that I am certain will be filled with many new experiences…some good and some bad.
I am resolving to be the best me that I can be… to be successful in the rest of my academic career, as well as the start of a new career.
I resolve to do something adventurous that is completely out of my comfort zone.
I resolve to stand my ground, to not let myself be taken advantage of. I will not be anyone’s doormat. I will not place expectations on any situation or any person, so that I cannot be disappointed.
I resolve to be emotionally, mentally, and physically healthy.
I resolve to be optimistic.
I resolve to be me.
I wish everyone a happy, healthy, and completely wonderful new year!!
I’m excited for you! 2009 is going to be amazing! I can feel it in my toes.
