“When I think of everyone else out there in the world, that goes through their life alone; and then I think of all the amazing years I got to spend with my beautiful, beautiful best friend, Brooke Davis… I kinda feel sorry for everybody else.”
I find that when a new year begins I always take a moment to think about how much I had changed since the previous year and in what ways I want to change this coming up year. Now, admittedly, more often than not, I never really fulfill how I wanted to change, but that’s usually because I come up with so many ways I could possibly change.
So this year, I’m keeping it simple. Given, these two things are going to take a lot of effort from me, but I feel that I really need to accomplish them.
- Strengthen my relationship with God
Towards the end of this year I began to realize just how distant I feel from God and I began to notice the relationship the people around me had with him, and I honestly felt sort of jealous (as terrible as that sounds). This year I want to to take the time to develop my relationship with God and hopefully by the end of 2012 I can be comfortable in saying that I have strong relationship with Him.
- Show my parents how much I appreciate themI never realized how unappreciative I have become to my parents. My aunt came over recently and she noticed how my parents do so much for my brothers and I, and how we don’t even bother to show our appreciation for it. Like a good number of teenagers, I’ve started to become spoiled and bratty. So this year, I am going to try to focus a little more on the fifth commandment: Honour your father and mother.
So yeah, new year, new hopes.
