So
I was debating whether I wanted to make this blog post that cliché super
nostalgic post about all of the amazing experiences I was blessed with in 2014
and the resolutions that I had going into 2015 or not. I chose not. To be
completely frank I’m really not into the idea of New Year’s resolutions, I
think that they’re a nice idea but that we become so enamored with the idea of
a new beginning we make lists of things we’re “going to definitely do” and then
when it actually comes time to doing them, we just don’t…because “there’s
always next year.” So this year I’m doing something different. No Resolutions,
just goals. Goals that I’m making my personal mission to see done before New
Year’s Eve 2016. And to keep me honest I’m making it a public blog so you guys
can call me out on it if you see me slacking. Without further ado here are the
goals I plan on getting done before January 1st, 2016.
1. Get the tattoo I’ve had
picked for the past 6 months yet have not had the courage to get.
2. Go away for a semester (preferably
abroad)
3. Decide what I’m going to do
with my life after I graduate Temple next May.
4. SKY DIVING
5. Say yes to new experiences
(whether that means trying new foods, going to unknown new places, or getting
involved in new activities.)
6. Actually writing at least
one blog post a week, so altogether 52 for this year.
And finally
7. Letting go of all the
troubles, grudges, pain, and conflict that 2014 brought with it.
I know I say this every year but 2014, by far has
been one of the greatest years of my life. It has been a year of lessons and
realizations for me; between figuring out who I am as a person, woman, friend,
and figuring out what makes me happy, and where I fit in. I have realized the
value of true friendship, of just how important family is, and I have come to
terms with my own mortality, and how because of this every single moment you
have with the people that you love is both invaluable and extremely precious, for
that moment will never exist again. I have learned that remaining angry with
people is a waste of energy and time, something which we already do not have
much of and ultimately only harms you. And finally I have learned that I can’t
do it all on my own despite how badly I may want to, and you know what? That’s
okay because I don’t have to. I cannot even begin to express how thankful I am
for the amazing people I have in my life from my parents, to my family, to the
incredible friends I have been blessed with who have not only stuck by my side
through this roller coaster ride of a year, but have made it the unforgettably
amazing year that it was. I hope that each and every one of you has an incredible New Years Eve and that 2015 brings you health, happiness, and many blessings!
