Happy Bah Humbug

It seems that I can’t have a birthday or a major holiday without going through some heartbreak. With everyone talking about friends, family and love ones, just exacerbates the feeling of isolation. I should stick to guns and ultimately stay by myself. That way no one will get hurt especially me.

Eleven Goals For 2011

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Another year has come and gone and as I sit here and contemplate what 2012 has in store for me, I figure it would be best to look back at the year 2011 and reflect on what kind of year it has been.

    -Going back to school
    This year I enrolled at DePaul University to finish my degree. So now a lot of my free time is spent in class and doing homework.
    -Fixing my horrendous credit
    In conjunction with paying off my student loans, I’ve been paying back my creditors and trying to get my credit score higher.
    -Saving money & have a deposable income
    The only real benefit to have roommates is that I don’t have to spend all my money on rent. Because of this I have extra money in my pocket.
    -Re-establishing my gamer cred
    I didn’t spent all my money for gaming consoles to let them collect dust, LOL
    -Buy a new computer
    In April, I went ahead and bought a 15 inch MacBook Pro. I was say to hand over $1,800 but happy to leave with a brand new mac.
    -Purchase new furniture
    Most my previous furniture have been hand-me-downs. I hated the style and knew that it didn’t fit me.
    -Exercise & workout more
    At the beginning of the year I lost 25 pounds but when I started back in school I gained half of that back. It was a good feeling to buy smaller clothes and maintaining my weight is something I need to continue to do.
    -Stop being camera-shy
    A welcome side effect of losing weight is feeling more confident in my self appearance and learning what angles I look better and best at
    -Learning to accept myself
    This was something I had to learn prior to the weight lost, I had to accept the best and worst of myself and realize that happiness comes from within and not others.
    -Stop being such a wall flower
    Living everyday by the saying “Inhaling anxiety, exhaling confidence”
    -Give Back & volunteer
    This was something I was doing for some time but in 2011 I increased the amount of time I volunteered. I’ve spent many Saturdays this year helping out at food pantries like Vital Bridges & the Greater Chicagoland Food Depository and attend workshops and seminars on HIV prevention with TPAN and I’m looking forward to many more volunteering opportunities to take place in within the new year.
