Dear 2015

Dear 2015,

I know that the bar is set pretty low for you; 2014 sucked. I mean, there were good parts, don't get me wrong. But when you lose both your grandmothers in one year, it overshadows everything else.

And I was in a rut. Some days, I really just wanted to sleep. All day long. I frankly just didn't give a shit sometimes. And that's hard to deal with, especially when part of you says, "No, I'm good here in my hole."

So, 2015, here's the deal: we get these things accomplished, and I'll consider you successful. Cool? Cool.
  • Write more. Just, however. Write, write, write.
  • Keep up with the damn weight loss. December hit me like a ton of bricks, and I need to lose that weight first. But let's go even more. Let's hit that 140 goal I set a million years ago. At least. I really want to try to lose about a lb. a week though.
  • Find the shovel to get out of that motivation rut. There are so many things I want to do. I can't do them if I never try.
  • Read more. I started off well, but the last 1/4 of the year, I barely read at all. It was horrendous, to be quite honest.
  • Find ways to relax and unwind outside of Redditing for hours on end. Seriously. It's a time-suck.
  • Figure out what I want to really do. I need to find a focus, a passion again.
2014, smell ya later. 2015, let's do this.

Sincerely,
Me
