A new dawn, a new day, a new life.

2009 went by before i could even attempt to grasp it. Everyday i lived and strived for nothing more than the next day. And here i am, 365 days later and what have i acheived by living for tomorrow? See, this is the problem with living in the future. Yes, it is wise to look ahead, to prepare yourself with what is to come. But when you live in tomorrow when you have today, you steal each precious moment from your own self. There is nothing wrong with being anticipatory about the future. But never forget today. Today is where you can thrive, where you can change, where you can live. I have spent so many days in 2009 living for tomorrow, living for next week, next month. And i've forgotten what i already have. I have today. It was always the moments that i sat back and realized how truly blessed i am, realized what a beautiful day and life i've been given that i truly appreciate. The days where i watched movies with my family or drove around with my crazy father or simply sat around laughing with my friends that i truly remember and cherish. The days that were unplanned, the days that just happened.
Even though i feel as if i've waisted so many days in this year, i have had some pretty amazing experiences. I graduated from high school and started college. I finally realized who my real friends were, and found a lot more out about myself. I found my passion. I met amazing people, amazing friends. I had my first garment walk down a runway. A little piece of the world got to see my creation. And even though this list of experiences may not be very long, I am grateful for them. Each and every one.
So as i enter the new year i don't want to make resolutions for just 2010, but for the rest of my life.

1. Live a life that would make God proud.
2. Help others, as much as possible.
3. Be kind. Make others happy, make myself happy.
4. Stand up for what i believe in. No matter who is up against me.
5. Stop swearing.

Five goals shouldn't be too hard to handle :]

2010 will be beautiful. Not only because i know it will be, but because i will make sure it is.

Happy New Year!
