New Year

So I’m thirty days late, but as you can clearly tell, it’s a new year.

Also, in case you couldn't tell from previous posts of mine, but I have this thing about getting fresh starts. Entering a new year is like the ultimate fresh start. And this year, for the first time ever, I was staring at 2015 with a blank slate for my life.

During the final days of December, I created a list of five resolutions/goals that I had in mind for 2015. Unfortunately for you, I’m not going to go into detail about them because they’re kinda personal. However, I’m making progress on all of them, so I think that’s some good news considering that January isn't even over yet.

Despite the fact that I choose not to explain these 2015 goals because they’re personal, one of them reminded me of the very first post that I have on this blog. The part where I explained that I created this blog in order for me to be brave and publicly talk about myself.

And I realized that I needed to get better at that. I also need to get better at posting more often on here instead of once a month or every other month.

(And not have too many serious posts. I’m not saying that it’s bad to have them, but my intention was never to have such a dismal blog.)

So be prepared for me to be more active on here. I’m going to try and balance silliness with seriousness, randomness with…structure-ness? (Okay, that fell apart.)

Of course, this is the internet after all, so there are certain topics of my life that I’m not going to share. But! I’m trying to get the incredibly private person inside of myself to open up a little more.

To help remind myself that things will be different around here on this blog, I even changed the layout.

Cheers to the new year and for embracing change and fresh starts. Mainly, I just hope to grow and become a better person.

(Does anyone else have 2015 goals they hope to accomplish?)
