New Year's Reflections

The best things about me this year:

My self-sufficiency

My hair

My commitment to what I set out to do

My self-awareness

My willingness to grow and change

My confidence

The fact that I’m a quick learner

My personal growth as a dancer and my willingness to learn all types of dance

My willingness to love, in a general love of humanity way

Things I hope to change next year:

I will solidify my relationship with the truth

I will do more direct activism work

I will continue learning to be comfortable on my own

I will visit another country

I will better learn the line between confidence and arrogance

I will start to learn spanish

I will learn more about my own adulthood and where I think I become an adult

I will figure out more of the next step in my life

I will fight harder to get the jobs I want
