I miss writing. Damon asked me last night if I've been writing recently, and other than these LJ posts, the answer to that question is no. Why don't I write anymore? It was one of the only things in my life that no matter what, made me happy. It let me escape to be somewhere else and sometimes someone else. If it makes me feel that way, why don't I do it? I guess I've just been caught up in the monotonous repetition of my life, but that needs to change. So as of 2008, hell as of NOW, I'm going to write more. At least once a week; maybe every day. I used to keep a notebook that I could just jot things down in whether they be entire short stories or single words - just anything that popped into my mind when I was inspired - and I would go back later and look through them and it helped a lot. I do keep a notebook next to my bed at school, but I have yet to write in it. I need to start writing again.
New Year's Resolutions:
-Be more confident
-Lose weight
-Make dean's list for second semester
-Line up a theatre job for the summer
-Go to shows and have good times with amazing people
-Get over Joe for good and never ever look back on it once
-Start taking voice lessons
-Act on my feelings and finally pursue that boy
-Like boys who DON'T already have girlfriends
-Start writing again
-Live
it's a long list, but they're not all impossible so I'm going to commit myself to making sure I live my life to the fullest this coming year, and every year after.
2007 was the best year of my life for me. It was the best and worst, actually. The best because I met my best friend Damon, and looking back, I can't imagine my life without him now. The worst because I had to leave everything familiar in my life to move to a new state with new people and new rules and new freedoms and it was hard. But that's also arguably the second best thing that happened to me this past year.
