& good riddance!
I can’t explain how happy I am to see the year come to a close. It feels like it was a waste—like it was everything 22 shouldn’t be. I felt like I stalled all year, like I forgot how to listen to myself.
2008 will be different. It’s a fresh start, and one I plan on taking advantage of. This year I have but one resolution: Take better care of me.
This means five things:
- I will eat better.
- I will exercise more.
- I will work less.
- I will play more.
- I will listen to my gut.
- I’m counting how many fruits and vegetables I eat every day, and I bought a new bottle of vitamins (that currently sits next to last year’s barely used bottle on my desk).
- I’ve researched several dance classes in the area (Wouldn’t that be fun?!) and confirmed that I am still a member of some crappy gym in Downtown Crossing.
- I told my boss last week, “Don’t plan on seeing me in the office after 6:30pm.” I have things to do that are not work related, and I plan on doing them… with ample time to catch the train home.
- D.C. in January. Photography class in February. Vieques in March. I’m in pursuit of the things I like doing.
- It used to be the thing I was best at; somehow other people’s voices have gotten in the way. So don’t be offended, but I’m not listening anymore. Stop telling me what’s right, wrong, smart and stupid. I’ll trust myself from now on.
