While I was sitting at the Airport in Thailand, I decided to write down on paper what I’ve been mulling over the last couple of weeks – my new years resolutions. I feel like new years is sentimental in the fact that it’s a time to forget the past and forgive yourself and others for the mistakes you’ve made and the people who have hurt you. Yes you should really do that every day of the year but there is something about the euphoria of the New Year that makes it easier to do and more determined to turn over a new leaf. None of my New Years resolutions have ever lasted before but this year is another year and perhaps with more realistic and practical resolutions, I will actually do most of it.
These are not new years resolutions so much as slightly idealistic short term goals of things I need to do to go where I want to go and be the person I want to be:
1. To work hard at everything I do and try my best
2. To be a loyal friend, to be trustworthy and honest, warm and yet discerning about whom to trust
3. To be a caring daughter and sister and show my family that I care about them
4. Be more smart financially, budget for the future, save for travelling end of the year
5. Make a 5 year plan of everything I want to do in my personal and professional life, how I plan to get there, and how much it is going to cost
6. To watch one documentary a week and educate myself more about different issues in culture, history and science.
7. Read/ watch the news everyday
8. Keep in touch with my friends on a more regular basis and show them how much they mean to me
9. Continue to email Mama every day and talk to her on the phone once a week
10. Travel for 6 months and immerse myself in it completely. Start saving now!
