Hello 2007!

So 2006 was definitely a new year. New hair cuts, new responsibilities, new boyfriend, new internship, new experiences, new drama... There were gains--new phone, new car--yet also losses--lost phone, crashed car. All in all, it was one heck of a year.

It went by so quickly.

I've definitely changed a lot in the past year; hopefully I've grown in a better direction. This year, I definitely hope to grow into the person I want to be. I know that sounds generic, but I hope to make a more conscious effort to do so. Too many times I haven't been aware of myself or my actions. So this year, I want to be more aware of myself, my surroundings, others, and hopefully, others wants/needs. ::phew::

Another thing that I know is totally gonna kick my ass: do what I say. Many times I say I'll do this, I'll do that. Not often enough do I follow through on that. There are a lot of ambitious people out there (not that I count myself among them) but many times those ambitions aren't realized. This resolution hopefully gets me to 1. be more careful about what I say and 2. make sure I do what I say. Integrity. That is definitely a loaded word.

This is the year. Filled with new optimism, some ambition, and drive, I can totally do. Do what? Anything. Well, not anything, but what I need/want to accomplish is totally doable. I just need the push. How will I know limits from lies if I never try, right? It's doable.

This is the year to be Ted. No, not the Ted that plans out everything and over-thinks all the time. This is the year to be the Ted that does. "Jump off the ledge." Get the purple giraffe.
