Grow Girl

Can't find source

It's a new year, has been for ten days. Some people say new year, new me. I don't roll that way. Only because I'm nothing new, and that's too much to put on yourself so quickly, and we wonder why we all fail our resolutions so quickly. 

Around this time of year there are so many questions about what we all hope to do or be better at throughout the year, and I quite enjoy learning what other people want to do. So if I'm so curious, I'll mention my hopes for the new year, or hopes in general. I find it easier for myself if I don't have a specific end time. 

I want to grow, in whatever way. Physically, Spiritually, Emotionally, plant based growth.

Make 20 more recipes so that I can finish my goal.

Try the paint balloon thing seen on Princess Diaries, maybe for my family's craft night.

Buy a bouquet of flowers, either for myself or my sister.

Find new music to listen to, of varying genres.

And so much more.

I want to continue having late night conversations on the phone, or in the car driving with the windows down, feeling the breeze and watching the sunset, feeling like we could drive anywhere. I want to spend some time with myself, go to a restaurant, or a movie, and not feel bad about it. I want to laugh endlessly. I want to share new favorite things with family or friends. I want to contine taking pictures of the things I love, and continue to document it. I want to continue to make goals for myself.

It'll be a great year, because I'm going to do everything I can to make it great. And besides me trying there will always be my save havens, rain, and the beauty that continues to surround me. And that's all I could ask for.

Until next time,

Mercedes
