New Years Resolutions

Dear Myself,
I haven't seen you in a while. You are so very different from the positive, energetic, fun-loving nature girl you were in February.

Just look at yourself. Not cool, man. Just stick with what you were before and you'll be good. Stop trying to be a poser teen.

But I am proud of you in some areas. Like, the fifteen pounds and three sizes you've dropped since summer. Nice. And not through starving yourself, which you certainly considered (and tried), but through healthy eating, jiujitsu and getting in shape. Also, learning to sing was a good move. And learning, in five months, everything you could possibly need to know for the rest of your life about that stuff.

You just need to realize that you have a life, plenty of good friends, and you are perfectly able to be yourself and get through high school. Just stick with what makes you happy.

Some pointers for 2011-

• Work on that novel more. I want it finished by May, no later.
• Plant a garden in your room, like before you took it out because you thought it wasn't cool.
• Read more books.

Got it?

Love and Kisses,

Me
