Resolutions
A lot has changed in the past year. Public schools and colleges have lost more money due to government descitions; more young uninformed U.S Soldiers have died to fight for a fault cause. We have all grown older, where not enough are wiser.
I am different from a year ago. I'm in even more of a transition than before. One year ago, I found myself with the opposition of having to quite my cuishany job as a shipping manager (a meaningless title, but fun) to take up a position at Safeway. This happened because last year I turned 24, and my mother's insurance coverage for offspring cuts off at that age. I was encouraged to take the job by my family, even though I was absolutely reluctant. I knew before my job began that I was going into a company that is under the protection of Union employees, and that the contract over benifits and coverage changed every year. And every year was worse. This year happend to be the worst any employee has ever seen.
From my fisrt day on the job, I became an alcoholic. At the end of every work day, I was exhuasted, and drunk. A six pack of beer for everday I worked became my vice, a temporary escape.
Luckily, the rest of my life is not depressing. I happen to have good friends, and a rather persistan mind. I stopped drinking on a dayly basis after a few months, and even started to excersize again. Now, I've decided to stop casual drinking. I'm not swearing off alcohol, but rather reserving it. My life is about to become very busy with school, which I would happily start now, rather than wait until the end of January.
Also, I would like to go out more often. I'm more comfortable staying in at night, where I may do what I like. But then, nothing changes except my age. I want to meet more people, and have interesting conversations. A lot is about to happen between school and moving. But, I also want to change my productivity. In this past year, I have produced less art work then ever before. And I've noticed that I tend to dwell more when I don't create.
I should also sleep more.
