I guess my number 1 goal for the next year is just to be honest to myself and everybody else. Sometimes I lie to myself because I can't handle not meeting my own expectations and my perceived expectations from others. I'm probably secretly hoping that by doing so I'll magically become the perfect student/human, and thereby exceeding all those expectations... but I really just want to do it so that I'm in touch with reality, and adjust my expectations instead.
I honestly tell myself that I failed, this gives me a chance to learn from the failure. Doesn't seem to be much hope if I can't even be honest with myself, it leaves improvement up to chance and circumstance. Worst case scenario of not being honest, I slip into denial and make one step further into insanity.
