Why not?
I miss writing. I went through a several-year period where I did pretty much no writing.
I was worried about starting my career. I was worried about moving out of my parents' house. I was worried about money, losing weight, and getting a dog.
I am no longer worried about any of those things. My career has started and in a very happy and comfortable place. As of last March, I am out of my parents' house. I no longer want to throw up paying my student loans each month. My college weight of going out four nights a week plus a fourth meal most of those nights has evened out. Apparently, sleeping on a real schedule will do that to you. :) I continued to struggle being my healthiest self, but I've come to the realization it is a lifelong journey, not a short-term solution. My dog, Suzy, is cuddled up next to me in bed as I type this right now.
I'm in a very happy place.
I will turn 25 in 2014. I always dread birthdays, not wanting to have that next badge of honor. This year, I'm looking forward to it. 25 is a good age. Not too old, not too young. My first half of my 20s have been awesome, why should I think any less of my second half?
Taking a well-deserved real vacation in 2014 to Florida in June. I haven't seen the ocean in almost 8 years. Haven't been on a plane in well over a decade. It's time!
I plan on tackling my book list this year and reading 50 books. Now, will all 50 be hard-hitting pieces of literature? No, probably not.
Wanting to start saving for a trip overseas this year. I'm wanting to make it to Paris before 2017. My ultimate goal is to save a little at a time so when the time comes to make definite plans, it doesn't feel like I'm using money at all since I will have put it all away a little at a time. Probably easier said than done.
I like that this New Year's Eve, I don't feel like I have to make real resolutions. I don't need to try to remake myself over this year. I'm already really happy with myself at this moment in time. Continuing and expanding that happiness is the only true goal for the year.
