Tomorrow, as I turn 24 years old, I look forward to what the next year of my life will hold for me. I hope to continue to see the positives of my life. I hope to continue to love going to work each and everyday and still have the drive to put my best foot forward. I hope to remain close with my friends and to have their support as I move forward. I hope that I can still keep off all of the weight that I have lost and continue to live a healthier life. My dreams are to find love, maybe or at least find someone worth giving my time to. I dream of visiting new places and experiencing new things with new people. I dream of maybe getting to go back to New Orleans before my 25th birthday. I hope and dream of living a full life and not missing out on any opportunities that my life may throw at me. I look at the past year of my life and I smile at it. I grew a lot during the past year and I look forward to the growth that will occur this year. I dream of it. There was so much uncertainty in my life last year and now my life is so much more centered and certain. I hope to keep it this way. I hope to keep the doors closed to those toxic people who are no longer needed in my life. I hope that maybe I could start the process to forgive them not necessarily speak to them again but to move on from that part of my life. I am ready to move forward and leave it behind. Some of my goals for my 24th year of life are:

1. Stay Happy and healthy: This is my biggest goal. This is so important to me.
2. Make more time for fun in my life: I want to try and not miss out on so many things. I need to embrace the opportunities that are in front of me. I want to have more fun while still remaining responsible.
3. Spend more time with my family and friends: I want to spend more time with the people that I love so much. They are the reason that I got here. I want them to know that I appreciate them. I plan to take advantage of spending time with them and to enjoy it.
4. Use my voice: I want to continue to speak up and use my voice whether it be at work or at home. I need to be heard and I want to stop being afraid.
5. Seize the Day: Still one of the many goals that I have for myself.

My goals are simple and I think that with time that I can achieve them. I hope to have a fulfilling 24th year of life. I hope to accomplish all of this and more. I look forward to what this year holds for me. I am ready.
