I think for 2019 I didn’t really have resolutions because I didn’t want to set a bar for something I could commit to. The only 2 things that I really promised myself were to improve my body physically (going to the gym more, eating healthier, etc) and improving myself mentally/emotionally. And I think I definitely accomplished those two things. First off, I gave myself a head start on going to the gym more frequently and increasing my protein intake through the last week or two of December before 2019 started, as well as doing more physical things such as learning how to do a cartwheel, a front senton (wrestle-speak), and various courses that you see on American Ninja Warrior such as the Warped Wall and the Spider Wall. I had huge bursts of commitment at the beginning, middle, and end of the year basically when I wasn’t in school.
And in terms of improving myself mentally/emotionally, I made so many great and wonderful friends that year at school, and I’m still close with my other friends from grade school/1 friend from high school. They helped me be more vulnerable and accepting of different things, and they were incredibly loving, respectful, and mentor-like to me. And I will always hold them in a special place in my heart because I can’t hang out with many of them since they’ve all graduated college in 2019.
I also turned 21 in 2019 (August). I immediately capitalized on it by getting “violently puking” drunk. A few days later I went to the casino for the first (and last) time. Those were great learning experiences as well, as I know I don’t ever wanna get that drunk ever again, and I don’t want to be someone who gets addicted to gambling only to come out with a net loss.
More came my way with school as I headed into the fall semester of 2019, where I was cast in a show, I helped choreograph a small bit of staged fighting for a different show, and I went out on my first date in two years. I even did incredibly well in my fight tests, the best I’ve ever done, getting certified for Smallsword and Knife. I closed out the year with my closest friends, playing all sorts of games.
tl;dr: This was personally my biggest and best year so far, and 2020 is set to only improve on that but also send me out into my career once I graduate college in just 4 months. I really can’t wait!
In 2020, I personally just want to continue on the path I’ve put myself on. I’m cooking for myself now as opposed to just eating out, I’m working out more frequently and increasing the amount of protein and vitamins/nutrients I get so I’m actually legitimately no cap improving my physical health and getting stronger. I’ve just got to really push myself these next four months. Then we’ll go from there lol
