To be honest, I haven't given much thought to particular resolutions this year, but I have high hopes for change and oppurtunity. I couldn't possibly tell you all I want to achieve in ten minutes, but if I were to sum it all up into one idea, I would say only that I wish to have a more open mind and a less isolated view on life.

It bothers me that I know absolutely nothing. I have a very limited knowlege about just about everything, and it's limiting every oppurtunity that comes my way. There are people I know that are so interesting I could sit and just listen for hours on end, but all I ever do is listen. I rarely contribute because I have no idea what I'm talking about, or perhaps I'm afraid that whatever I have to say isn't significant enough. I feel that most people don't take me seriously because I rarely have anything to say that strikes them. I'm not interesting.

This year, I plan to change that. Everything I've ever loved and wanted to learn about, I'll finally stop procrastinating and pick up a book on the subject. Any question I'd never asked because of my (unapparent) shyness, I promise to ask. Any conversation I have, I promise to contribute because anything I have to say is worth hearing.

And now...

Reading this over, I promise to become more confidant in my capabilites. Listening is sometimes the best thing as well, and maybe the things I do know already will somehow interest people if I just find the confidance to speak.
