A Fresh Start

Well, happy new year, everyone! I can't believe that 2013 just ended...but I am definitely BEYOND RELIEVED. 

I never really felt too strongly about any year, but 2013 was so tough that I think I actually hated it. To be honest, it was only so bad because I made it bad. I disappointed myself in many ways so I am glad to see the year go. Thankfully, it did end on a fairly good note, and a whole load of stress has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel much lighter, much happier, and much more confident now. I hope to reform myself this year and undo all the mishaps that occurred in the previous one. 

Some goals/resolutions:

-Be kinder: Last year I had a lot of negativity pent up in my mind and it didn't do anyone any favors.

-Be a better sister/daughter/friend/family member: I don't want to take any of my relationships for granted. 

-Lead a healthier lifestyle: my health took a hit last year as well, and I owe it all to stress. This year, I will strive towards better mental and physical health. 

-Be and stay active: going along with the healthy lifestyle plan. 

-Work hard: I know I can achieve success because I've done it before. I know I have the potential so I cannot be neglectful any more. 

-AVOID PROCRASTINATION: this is VERY IMPORTANT.

-Budget everything: Although I'm pretty good at saving money, I deprive myself of normal things because I constantly feel broke. Perhaps having a better budget plan will allow me to enjoy life without having to always worry about not having money.

-Love myself: I realized that I actually hated myself last year. Gotta change that NOW. I need to fall in love with myself--in the most non-weird way possible, of course. 

I didn't mean to get too serious on you all but sometimes, life discussions are important. It is a new year, however, and I will make sure that it will be filled with positivity. (Side note: and lots and lots of blogging!)
