Hello 2014

You know, 2013 was amazing. It was the year I turned 25 years old and learned a lot from my mistakes. But became a better person as well. It had it’s up’s and down’s and yet I learned so much. I challenged myself and I’ve become more positive. I realized that’s when I’m really happy. Oh, and being kind to others and doing things for them for no reason is so gratifying. I can’t wait to see how I’ll improve myself in the new year. Here are my Goals that I plan on reaching for this new year of 2014.
