I'M 23.

Today I'm 23! Exactly on this day, 23 years ago, I was born. Where has the time gone? I know that it passes slower for me than, say, my parents, but wow!

My goals for this year, as a 23 year old, are:

1. Continue to be an empathetic person. I'm naturally empathetic, but I want to continue to try to be in tune with others' emotions.
2. Put myself out there more. In every situation. As I said yesterday, I'm a naturally shy, introverted person, so putting myself out there in social situations is very tough and anxiety inducing. I want to continue to work on that.
3. Take up more hobbies! I was a dancer for 16 years, so maybe I'll take it up again, at least sometimes. I never commit to anything because I never know how busy I'll be, so I don't want to take up anything new. Once I know, I'll let you know!
4. Be more active. My roommate and I usually go out dancing Saturdays, but I want to try to pick up more active activities. YouTube and Netflix have basically taken over my life.
5. Make more friends and continue to cultivate the relationships I have. I want to meet more people, experience more new things, and just generally widen my horizons.

How about you? What are your goals for this year?

I hope y'all are having a happy January!

Au revoir et à demain,
