Feliz Año Nuevo!

This new year is going to bring so many (good) things, and as always, I have too much juggling around in my head. For starters, let's begin with my resolutions.

Now, I never, and I mean never, keep my resolutions. There are always a million things I want to change or do better, and it just seems too impossible. But why? I'm fully capable of doing anything I set my mind to. So this year, I decided not to write them down, though, I suppose I'll be writing them here, and just stick to them on my own (if that makes sense).

First things first, I will exercise and be healthier. I feel so much better when I don't have the extra weight. I feel good about myself, I'm not as tired, and I just feel more energetic. I'm tired of being so tired and lethargic constantly. These past two weeks when I've been on vacation at home and in McAllen, I didn't exercise. I don't want to beat myself up about it because I really enjoyed my break. I got back into Austin last night and will begin going back to the gym this week. My boyfriend is planning on getting in shape too, so that will give me extra motivation. I just need to keep to a schedule, so that I will get enough sleep each night and find enough time in the day to do everything I need/want to do. Because my life is about to get a heck of a lot busier...

I will now be working full time, 40 hours a week at least. I'm still keeping my job with Texas Performing Arts, and I'll also be working with ACL ticketing downtown. The bus commuting back and forth all day might be annoying, but I'll figure it out. With my loan repayments already due, I need the money. I also need the money to move to LA. And to take at least one vacation this year. And, I so so so hope, to get a dog. But that's a whole other story.

My next, or should I say, first, resolution is to be more positive. This past semester has been really difficult for me. I'm not in school anymore like everyone else I know. I have to work every day to afford to live. I've begun the difficult, difficult road to finding success as an actress. I was there when the best dog in the world was taken away from us. And I've dwelled on the negative. So much that I would randomly burst into tears every day, and it scared me. I'm going to try and appreciate the postive in my life and not think about what is bad or could be better. If I believe in myself and stick to my goals, I can accomplish. Looking at this past year, I've already accomplished more than I give myself credit for...in fact, I completely disregard what I have accomplished. I signed with my #1 choice of an agent, I've taken headshots that I actually love, I've gotten called back to auditions, I got a full time job, I lived in my own place, I've added to my photography portfolio, I've gotten a gym membership (which I will start using more regularly), I loved and cared for an animal more than I ever thought I could or would, I made it to 21 years old! I accomplished these things and so much more. And this year will bring even more for me. More income, more change, more success, more everything.

COME FROM A PLACE OF YES!
