New Year's Resolutions

A tradition not soon forgotten, I try my best to gain the distance between me and my potential self. I am self concious in the most positive way. It is only the fact that I love myself that I would want to change myself, to be better and happier and healthier. I cannot set goals. I don't know what is realistic and more over what is appropriate. Science and life in general find ways to be contradictory and conflicting with actual numbers of anything. Balance is a constant discourse that is not going to be solved in one year, much less this one.

1. Drink more water
It has only been with the time spent recently drinking water because I was sick that I realized how much water is soothing and contains healing powers.

2. Exercise more.
With a modification to this, to be active. Not necessarily hardcore exercise, walking and bustling, the stairs instead of the elevator and things of that nature is included in this effort.

3. Read more.
It is only recently that I have discovered the potential of the Seattle Public Library and my own free time. I don't know quite yet what career I want to be pursue, so I might have some leisure time yet.

5. Explore more.
Sometimes I feel that I am less inclined to try new things, especially if I am hesitant. I want to say "yes" to more things than I am. I can't imagine a world without limits, but I hope to find a world bigger than the one I am currently living in.

6. Create something new everyday.
Today's creation being this list.

7. Make more sense.
It has been proven that women are irrational creatures. I wouldn't debate this, but help to amend it. Evaluate emotions.

8. Be more musical.
I have been interested in music for a long time, though it has less manifested itself in the past couple of years.

9. Connect with old friends.
It's funny how you don't notice the trail of broken hearts as you make them, but call upon old friends and there's a sad truth waiting. Are there second chances?

10. Form better eating habits.
I've been reading a lot of nutrition books. Some contradict each other, so a lot of it is instinct. I think common sense is a little skewed on the matter, but I am considering vegetariansim and organic foods to be top investigation.

11. Drink less coke.
Though this goes under number ten, it has been a surviving vice in my life and I hope to end it this year. Nostalgia is a great marketing tool.

12. Watch money spending.
I don't know how frugal I can actually be. I am a hedonist and often impulsive.

13. Define style.
Not a super high priority, but looks do matter. There is an artistry in that particular expression andI intend to find it.

14. Eat fruits and vegetables.
See ten.

15. Cultivate friendships.
They need attention, support and stability.

16. Travel.
I should have been out sooner.

17. Social conventions.
What are they? Where can I get some? Normal friends, what is that?

18. Never stop learning.

19. Use precise language.
