2017

The last half of 2016 was not awesome for me, although I am still a very fortunate person.

• My best friend moved four hours away from me, and I didn't realize how dependent I was on him until he was gone.
• I started a new job, and new jobs are always so awkward for the first few months.
• I was (and still am) unsure about where I stand in certain relationships. 

While a lot of amazing things happened during the last half of the year, these things were always on my mind. And they still are, obviously, the dropping of a heavy ball doesn't just erase things from 2016. That is why I didn't `do a "yeah in review" post - I feel that I was walking through fog for the last six months. It has gotten worse as the weather has gotten colder and the days have gotten shorter. 

BUT - in the words of Taylor Swift, I need to shake it off. And I will shake it off. So these are my goals for 2017:

• I want to be happier more days than I'm not. 
• I want to work out more days than I don't.
• I want to kiss more times than I cry.
• I want to drink more water than I do soda. 

Are these SMART goals? No. But it's what I am going to make happen. 

Also, I'm 1/1 on working out more days than I don't.
