A new year, a new you....Isn't that what you hear on every commercial on tv around the New Year's Holiday? I mean, really, is another year really going to make you in to a totally new person? Or will you just be the same old person, just a little madeover, for better or worse?Well, I'm thinking that no one is really going to be a "totally" new person...old habits die hard as they say. People can make resolutions, and don't get me wrong, I hope that people do better themselves and turn out better along the way...but how many people are that determined that they change themselves completely? I guess today I'm just being cynical...or I'm just "anti-New Year, New you." :-)
I do have a few things I want to accomplish this year, but I don't want to call them resolutions...because doesn't that really mean the problem is solved when it has a resolution? And my problems aern't resolved...
I want to be more honest about the things that are going on in my life and in my head, not just glaze over everything with a sugar-coating when people ask what's wrong or how I'm doing......I want to go to the gym more and feel better about my body......I want to write in my journal more beacuse sometimes this is the only place I really can get everything all out, no matter how hard I try to be open......I want to stay in touch with the people in my life and reconnect with, I won't say lost people in my life, cause they aren't lost to me, just out of touch, out of reach people in my life......I want to be a better friend, daughter, mother, person in general....
I guess most people have alot of the same things on their minds they wish to accomplish this year...heck, maybe I am just like every other person in the world and I want a "New Year, New Me"...lol
