New Year, New You

This week's assignment is to come up with a one word New Year Resolution. I chose "Meet". The reason I chose this word is because I will be going to college in the fall and I would like to meet new people. Also, while I still have a few months left, I would like to meet more people at school so that when I come home on breaks, I can catch up with the people from home. By meeting new people, I hope to broaden my horizons!


The second part of this assignment is to identify things that we envy or lie about. I often envy people who have a lot of money and throw it around like it doesn't mean anything. I don't have that privilege so when people talk about spending money on useless things, I wish I could do that comfortably. Also, I envy people who get to travel a lot because one of my dreams is to be able to travel to different countries and discover different ways of life. Often when people travel outside of the country, I ask them all about their trip when they return and find myself living vicariously through them. Kind of embarrassing!!!  The thing I find myself lying about the most is how I feel about situations. When I am upset about something, I tell people I am fine and never admit what I'm upset about. I realize that I need to stop doing this because often people don't know that what they do upsets me and then I have no justifiable reason to get upset at them when I finally pop. I think if I have to lie about it so much, I should probably open up more and let people know what's going on, and maybe get some help!
