Hopes, dreams, and goals for the next 365 days. Well, that most definitely cannot be summed up in a single post, m'dears. So, I'll just give you a glimpse of what I'm hoping to accomplish in the next few months.
1. quit stereo typing.
I'm a stereotyper. And I mean bad. I have everyone put into boxes, as if they're not capable of being anything but a "prep" or a "nerd". I guess you just kind of pick it up when you've been in public school since first grade. But no more. I'm going to see people for who they really are; I'll look past their clothes, language, social status. I'll see them as God's creation -- after all, we're all His image-bearers.
2. find my style.
As of now, I have none. I mean, zilch. See, I've always been a tomboy, and now that I'm in high school, well that exterior isn't me anymore. Sure, I like sweats and T-shirts on occasion -- who doesn't? But on a daily basis, erm, no. So -- ya'll wanna help me? I was thinking some you could do a favorite outfit post, so I could get a head-start in the fashion world. *cheesy grin*
3. be myself.
I know that sounds overly cliche, but I need to just be me. I feel confined to this person people expect me to be, and I'm sick of it. I will not be put in a box. I will be my own person. Have my own spunk. Wear what I want, even if the rest of the school hates it. Sing like no one's listening. Love like there's no tomorrow.
"Feel the rain on your skin, no one else can feel it for you. Only you can let it in. No one else, no one else can speak the words on your lips. Drench yourself in words unspoken, live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten." --Unwritten, Natasha Bedingfield
What are some of your ambitions?
