#coolchangefor2016

The year’s almost over and I feel as if 2015 happened so fast, I haven’t accomplished anything at all. It was just a random thought moments ago, but this year, I felt like I was a lost sheep. I just turned 20 last month and I realized the need to materialize and concretize plans -- if there’s any at all. 

Though it might be true that I’ve got bigger plans and dreams, those are long-term goals that needs preparation. And being momentarily lost and carefree had blurred that path towards my dreams. That’s why I’m thinking of plotting short-term one’s to achieve the bigger one’s. The problem with me, though, is that, I’m very inconsistent and lazy. For some reason, which I’m sure I’m aware of but I refuse to acknowledge, I can’t commit to making these things happen. I lack the resolve and the will to do it. There’s always that excuse to not do it. I’m such a hopeless case. What do I even do? At any rate, I’ll be needing help but I don’t know how. I have no solution yet, but I’ll try to figure one out. Right now, planning the things I need to do is a good start. Alright, here we go!
