This year I pledge:
- To be awesome.
- To be an artist, to have an artists heart, to make art. A lot of it.
- To free myself to feel again, to see the beauty that is shouting out at me in even the smallest nuances of life, and to feel whatever emotions they evoke in me.
- To be a writer, to write out what I feel, and to make up a ton of new words for all the new feelings I experience.
- To be a student, always and forever. I will read and learn and be my own teacher. This brain needs stretching.
- To find a way to always be moving forward.
- To find the confidence, strength, and motivation that I've lost somewhere along the way. I will face problems head on, I will confront when confrontation is necessary, I will be silent when silence is needed, I will be bold and tactful, I will be strong.
This world is big and scary, but I'm ready now.
