2012 is here and I couldn’t be more grateful for it. 2011 was a crazy year and I’m happy to leave it behind. I finished college in July. 4 years of papers, midterms, finals and shit were finally over. I was sad and happy, all at the same time. However, I slacked behind with my thesis. So, my number one NE’s Resulution: write my stupid-ass thesis.
I took up a 4 month Digital Marketing course, finished it and realized how much I love what I do. However, I’m still looking for a job since I am not ready to step into the family business. It seems almost like cheating if I were to get my first paying job there. NE’s Resolution number two: get a cool-ass, semi-decent paying job.
In 2011 I thought I was going to be skinny again. I was wrong. I gained some weight because I was tired of stressing so much about it. I’ve been going to the gym for the past 2 months, even took up pilates, and now I have muscles! My ass is hard as a rock. I don’t starve myself anymore, I don’t keep lists of forbidden foods, I don’t avoid eating anything with more than 200 kcal. I am, slowly but surely, getting better. Yes, I feel fat but I am calm. I run again. I cook. And by July this year, I’m going to be slim again although this time, it will be on my own terms and I will be healthy. I will stop binge eating, I will stop starving myself. So, NE’s Resolution number three: lose weight.
2011 was a shitty year. It ended pretty badly with my dad being in hospital and the possibility of him having cancer again, at the age of 60. He is healthy at the moment, though it shook us and Christmas was dull and full of worry. NE’s Resolution number four: do not take my family for granted; spend time with them.
Hope each one of you had a great year, and if you didn’t, hope 2012 is the year for you!
