New Year's Resolutions

The new year is fast approaching and I guess this is the most fitting time for me to determine what some of my New Year's resolutions are going to be. Here are just 10 of the ones that I have been working on. A few I gleaned from some articles in Essence magazine.

  • I will follow my gut instinct. I think 2004 was filled with a lot of red flags that I just ignored because my "head" told me to.
  • I will cultivate a more active social calendar. I missed way too many outings cause I was more comfortable under my blankets at home.
  • I will learn how to say "NO" and mean it!
  • I will get into shape. I really do mean it this time.
  • I will cut my loses and get out of failing relationships, be it friendships or others.
  • I will push for the things I want, but with out the black-diva-attitude that my friends have come to know and love.
  • I will be more supportive of my bestfriend and his decisions, even when I want to strangle him.
  • I will not permit strange men to approach me with meaningless conversations filled with "ma" and "sexy" and "nubian princess". Goddamn it someone is going to learn my name!
  • I will continue to grow my afro!!! Despite the stares.
  • I will continue to write without interruptions.
