Perpetuate.
Christmas 2006 was far more excellent than I could have imagined. No, it wasn't the stack of brand new DVDs, the new leather computer chair, the new LCD TV, DVD player, the new clothing, or the money I received, although that certainly assisted to make it so. The main reason it was great was that I presented myself as female to my parents and they, as mature adults, reciprocated my acceptance and affection as designed by a typical family structure. It was... nice.
This year brought far more different ideas and feelings to me than any year previous. Feelings of pure bliss, mostly, in acquiring new friends and that in regards to romantic love. Overall, the year was wonderful. Not only did I defeat any doubt in the collective minds of my family and friends in terms of being a successful individual, but I developed some very strong connections to those around me. I managed to go from living in a room in a trailer and working minimum wage to having a 2-story, 2-bedroom apartment to myself (which, as of yesterday, also has a 32 inch TV and a home theater downstairs) and an excellent engineering career. I would also like to thank everyone I met for the first time on May 13, 2006, for that day had many different profound and lasting effects upon me.
Resolutions are funny concepts. They embody the essence of that we wish to change about ourselves and create the notion that this change can occur. Although a few are maintained perpetually in the coming year, most are forgotten and lost entirely. I was, fortunately, able to retain at least of my resolutions from last New Years Eve. These New Years resolutions will be somewhat more difficult to accomplish. I resolve to be a better person. For me, this may include being more friendly, taking more time to listen to others, and becoming more cheritible. I also would like to stop biting my nails... and take more pictures of friends.
Happy New Year!
May the next be better than the last, in love, health, and kindness for all.
