2015 is here whether we like it or not. Time keeps moving forward, and things are changing, rearranging. In this new year people see life in a fresh perspective. A chance to start anew, and gain hope in things previously seen with hopelessness. A new start is empowering. It is important.
As I enter this new year, I feel the same, that I can accomplish things I failed to do last year. Why this makes sense in our minds, while it is only one day to the next, is bizarre, but Iāll take it. As time moves along we grow, learn, experience, so this year I want to experience things that will give me the ability to accomplish things I failed with before. This year I want to take action, be a part of something great, do something great for myself, be someone I would want to talk to. Have an awareness for the world that compels me to do something. I want to be able to care for myself, be healthy is all perspectives of the word. I want to be whole. I want to be honest. I want to be real. I want to be full of life. I need to be these things.
I have one semester left in college this year, and then the other half is out there, where ever God takes me. Life in 2015 is about to become full of possibilities opportunities, and I want to take them. I want to be able to physically stand in solidarity with those who are oppressed. Not just one day here or there, but figure out a way to do this everyday. I want to do something for this world that will make it a better place. I want to see people, see people who I disagree with, and see that we can understand one another if we give it a chance. I need people to understand one another. I want to do the hard things, because I know they are worth it. I want to have those conversations, the ones that are hard, and the ones that create connections, that create understanding.Ā I want to be involved. I want to challenge the system. I want to show people that they should care about the people and world around them. I want to show people that we are all connected. I want to give people the chance to be heard, because I want to listen. I want others to hear. I want to be humbled. I want to love myself, and see how insignificant I am at the same time. I want many things.
I may think the things I say here are unrealistic. BUT, I want to be believe it can happen, I need to believe. I have spent the last year trying to understand what creates a belief, why we believe things, how we believe things. And I saw that belief needs faith, it needs hope, it needs courage, and it should be true to the self. I spent the year struggling with myself, and figuring out who I am. I spent the year learning about the things that matter. I built tools for myself, so that I could be more effective. I spent a semester isolated, and up in the mountains, unable to engage with the world around me. I literally trapped myself, and it gave me the ability to learn to love myself. I saw that I can believe that I am doing alright as a human being, that people donāt just interact with me because they have to. I had lived with this insidious self-hate for so long, and Iām trying to let it go. The mountains showed me community. Healthy community has the ability to celebrate the diversity of each individual and bring out the truest self they can be. I want 2015 to be a year of developing community, sustainability, empowerment, and awareness of others.Ā
I want to be able to love others well in this next year and for my lifetime. To show others they are valued, and that they are important. I want to show myself these things too. I want others to see they can always choose love, and that it is better to do so. 2015 has in interesting outlook, and I believe that it is a year where many things are going to change, but change for the better. I want to be able to go through the hard times with perspective of the bigger picture. I can see the light, the light of hope within the hopelessness. We just have to keep going.Ā
These are my goals for 2015.Ā
