Here's to 2015!!

Hey my lovelies!

It is officially 2015!

So much has happened in the past 365 days. Some were good and some were not so good, but I'm not complaining. They made me who I am today. The mistakes I've made, the lessons I've learned, the memories and experiences has helped me evolve into a better person. I still have a lot to learn and do to become a better person but it's a good start.

2014 has taught me how to become a stronger person, emotionally and mentally. It tested my faith, my patience, and I learned about family and friends. The experiences that I was put through made me realize how strong I actually was and that helped my maturity level grow. 

I've grown to accept that being single is not the end of the world. Losing friends doesn't mean that you're bad at keeping people in your life. I learned not to give a flying cockroach what people say about me. That giving is so much more rewarding than receiving gift after gift. That material things are just things. You don't have to have the latest technology and clothes to become "cool" or "up-to-date."

 I also learned that you just can't please everyone. You can't keep saying "yes" to everything, you can always so "no." Don't become who people want you to be but who YOU want to be. That's all that matters. 

So 2015, I am ready for you. I'm ready for the challenges that will come my way. The memories, the lessons, the experiences, and the opportunities. I'm ready. 

For the next 365 days and the next year and the next, I will go after my dreams and goals. I'm not letting excuses and people who tells me I can't, get in the way. I will be who I want to be.

So here are my resolutions for the new year. You'll notice I took some resolutions from HIMYM:

• Don't postpone JOY
• Don't waste the important moments because you can't get them back
• Keep a JOURNAL. Documenting your experiences is extremely important.
• Workout! Be healthy! Get to your goal weight. 
• Stop caring what people think of you.
• Stop caring about how many people "like" your instagram posts or "follow" your Twitter
• Live without regret and never look back. Stop living in the past.
• Stay off your phone in the company of others. Appreciate your time spent with the people you care about and with.
• Learn to embrace failure. If you failed, you did something most people won't ever do. You TRIED.
• Read at least ONE book per month
• Cross something off your bucket list. Don't make excuses as to why you can't accomplish something.
• Blog more and film more videos for YouTube. Blog once a week. 
• Reach to 100 subs by May (YouTube)
• SAVE!! Put every $1 you get a hold of in your dollar jar/box
• Be a GOOD FRIEND. Stay in touch with friends, wherever they may be. 
• No more FRENEMIES.
• Be HAPPY! Be happy with yourself. Positivity goes a long way.
• Be THANKFUL. Always. Appreciate what you have.
• Travel! Go somewhere you've never been
• Learn how to cook. 'nuff said.
• Help others. VOLUNTEER. Donate to charity. 
• Strengthen relationships with family memebers.
• Be more ORGANIZED. In everything.
• Don't chase after someone who's not giving you the attention you deserve. There's no such thing as a fairytale romance. Don't settle on anyone less than you deserve.
• Be clear about the things you say.
• Get out of the house. Go for a walk. Get a bagel...or a subway.
• Things happen for a reason. Learn to accept the BAD because something GOOD always comes out of it.
