gaarahiden this time, i have strongly avoided any "predictors" of how my 2025 is going to look like. no tiktok tarot readers no filters no costar predictions no astrology checking (yet) at all. i refuse to let anyone but myself tell me how my year is going to go. 2024 has knocked me down and humbled me and taught me lesson after lesson that i failed to document and internalize but not anymore!
so here are my resolutions:
1. i want longer hair. i also want to wear my natural hair out a lot more. unfortunately for me these two things literally cannot coexist. fortunately for me, my desire to have long hair outweighs any and all love i have for my natural hair any day. i'm going to lock my hair up in protective styles all year, but i'm still researching on which protective styles are the best for growing my hair out... idgaf if it's vain that is my number one goal of the year.
2. i want to manage my money better. this year has taught me a lot about my spending habits and they need to change URGENTLY. i also spend more when i'm backed into a corner and i spent this whole year holding on by the skin of my teeth. i must learn to manage a crisis better and i must not spend so frivolously. if i have a problem and the only solution i can think of requires spending money i need to think of 5 more solutions.
3. i need a routine. i'm not going to the gym i know who i am. but i need some sort of routine in my life because i want to be better and you need these things. i want to wake up early and floss every day and stretch in the mornings and maybe go on walks. i am not an active person and i honestly hate it but i need to get it together if i want to keep being sexy forever. lumping this in i need to go to the doctor more often when i have concerns because i am a very often concerned person but i never do anything about it. i now realize this is literally what doctors are for.
4. i want to spend more time with my family. i realize these are the people i need to stick by me forever. i've been trying to blow up my social life all year for no reason and i was so isolated and in such a deep dark place and it did not occur to me that i could turn to my family at all. i know that they have my back and i know that they love me even if they don't always know what's best for me. it will take a lot of time and effort but i want to trust my family for these things.
i have already achieved all my goals and my life is flourishing and beautiful. i need nothing but me and love.
EDIT: 5. STOP FLAKING

... I keep mine in a braid almost all the time because if I let it loose, it likes to grab things and play with them.
>> i want to spend more time with my family. <<
Generally a good goal.
