I suppose this post is better late than never.
2011 was an interesting year. I experienced and learned more about life in the last year than I have in the many years I’ve been stumbling along prior. It was definitely a build up. 2009 and 2010 were also years of growth and learning, setting me up for 2011.
Looking back at my resolutions for the year, I find I accomplished a good amount. I started on my tattoo, got more involved with my community, and even gained and lost a life changing relationship. All in all, I’m pleased with how the year came to be, but in the end, I’m done with it. On to 2012!
For this year, rather than resolutions, I want to focus on the fundamental core of New Years Resolutions: the betterment of oneself. I strive to be a better person this year, to build my capacity in most every regard.
People have their specialties and passions, and in my time I have yet to find a specific passion. Instead, I find myself more of a jack-of-all-trades, someone others can rely on to get the job done, regardless of what it is.
In this regard I want to support everyone around me, and to be someone they can rely on. I want to learn more in life, to experience more, to be more self-sufficient, and to spread that efficiency to those around me.
This year I want to cultivate the wellspring of creativity I know dwells within me. I have to continue writing, whether through poetry, short story, or essays. To me, writing feels like I’m dancing with my fingers, creating something that only existed in my mind. Every time I write I realize how much I love it.
In April I will complete my tattoo, honoring in it my ancestors, family, kasamas, and most importantly, my niece Phoenix. The love, wisdom, strength and courage I have gained from them is without measure. I would love to take up the violin again, it’s the only instrument I’ve felt speaks to me.
I will continue to develop my ability as a radio operator, and use my voice to both entertain and enlighten. In this regard I will speak at rally’s and events, agitate the masses and spread knowledge.
Really, all I want this year is to continue to grow and become the person I keep feeling that I hold back. Both physically and mentally I strive to achieve my best. I aspire to inspire, and to be inspired by, those around me.
This year, we will be magnificent.
