Talk about one thing you hope to do in the upcoming year that you have never done before. It could be something significant or something trivial.
Marry Elizabeth.
We should be married already, but fate intervened, as it so often does, and now I find myself feeling further from her than ever. After everything that happened, you may wonder why I still want her, but if you need to ask such a thing, you do not know my Elizabeth. She is simply the love of my life, and I will always want her as my bride.
It is true that I was hurt by her actions on the Black Pearl. I am only a man, after all, and I dare any man to say he would not be crushed at the sight of his love in the arms of another. The merest thought of Elizabeth and Jack threaten to send me into a jealous rage some days, yet I will always want her happiness more than my own. Jack would probably tell me I'm being too noble, but I can't help it. Her heart means more to me than anything. As such, there is a very good chance that I will not be getting my wish this year. Or any other. That does not mean I will stop hoping. I waited nearly half my life for her to love me. If I must, I can wait the rest of it for her to marry me.
