Another year younger… and another year more confused
The long-term goals have remained relatively similar:
—> Find Love
—> Save the world
—> Live honestly
—> Live respectably
—> Live fairly
—> Live humbly
The short-term is ever more confused:
—> Survive another week.
—> Apologize to another girl because I know she isn’t where I want to spend time.
—> Reconcile my mind, my heart, and my present reality (three different inclinations).
—> Be a better friend to those people I have been unable to treat well lately.
—> Stop making excuses, start making successes.
Alas, I am now 23 years old. The important things I learned this year:
—> Nobody knows what they are doing, so just do your best and be humble in the knowledge that you will never get it perfectly right, but neither will anyone else.
—> Take the people in your life as you find them and love them for who they are, as you find them. If this person is someone you want to date, you should date them for who they are and not who you think they could become. If this person is a friend or acquaintance then offer insight when asked but appreciate the good things they bring to your life and forgive them their mistakes (See: the first important thing).
