It's September, three months away from 2011 but the usual "rethinking of life" feelings are coming to me already. I'm used to my ups and downs now, so I know the best way to benchmark where I really am in life is to ignore my present emotions and instead do a little comparison with my 2010 new year resolutions.
So what did I set out to achieve this year? Well, I quote:
"So following our yearly traditions here at Repressed, here are my new year's resolutions:
1) Love - I'm going to fall in love this year
2) Car - Gonna own my first ride.. THIS year! Yeah, baby
3) Work - Gonna come up with some good shit too, no, wait, make that great shit"
Did I achieve what I set out to do?
Love - I did fall for the stupidest guy. Well, its still one resolution achieved. Next round, I'll remember to name specifics & standards!
Car - You bet. Got my own ride now.. and got an unexpected windfall all because of it. Won't go into details here though.
Work - Well.. I did come up with some great lines for a campaign which I'm proud of. Unfortunately, things at work have been going a little downhill since then.
All in all, I achieved all I set out to do. And the year isn't even over yet. Proves 2 things:
1) Life is never as crappy as we think it is.
2) When we set out clear goals, we're likely to achieve it.
What's next? Getting ready a new set of goals, of course.
So what do I really want now?
