Before actually getting to my resolutions, the ones I never plan ahead and those I think of while writing this annual post, I'll jot down some of the important things I did this year.
2009 was the year I graduated highschool and got into college, sixth of my entire department. I visited Spain and Targu Mures, places I haven't seen before. I spent my 19th birthday in Cambrils. I saw Placebo, Prodigy and IAMX in concert (along other niche artists I'll name in a separate post). I understood love can't be taken for granted. I had numbing experiences of different kinds, and I also decided I would have fun more responsibly from now on. I quit smoking and light drugs. I started shaping my sense of class, with almost immediate effects. I have made new friends and I may have lost some of my old ones. Those I would call aquaintances or colleagues. I got a job, had a short break and then found another one. I met wonderful, intelligent, brilliant people who made me reconsider the way I lead my life. I found my charity work, but am not able to work it out so well. I made people happy. I cried in the most awkward situations, places and times. I had various experiences, but not what I can call enough. I discovered new music, new authors and finished reading all of Chuck Palahniuk's work.
2009 was the year I haven't fulfilled any of the year's resolutions. Out of shame, out of fear, out of incapacity. I'm glad none of them repeats itself this year.
And as far as 2010 resolutions go, I would like to:
Walk more.
Discover new music, authors and artists.
Become more in control of myself (body, mind and heart).
Quit being lazy and read more, since this year I've been busy with the final exams.
Be more patient, more loving and more understanding.
Stop accepting to be mistreated.
Get a real serious relationship.
If point 8 fails, find fuck buddies worthy of my time and effort.
Complete the artistic nude shooting I've been planning for a year.
Select my friends more carefully.
Don't give up on not smoking anymore. Alcohol in excess and light drugs likewise.
Manage to help with my charity work, and become a role model.
Keep learning Catalan and improving it.
Stay on the state-financed place in college.
Remember how to dance the waltz and tango, especially since I'll need them soon.
Keep my tastes eclectic.
Save more money and buy a camera.
Enjoy my 20th birthday in a European capital (preferably Madrid, Paris or London).
Keep my weight at 90 pounds.
Learn how to play Halo and MW2.
Understand who I am and better myself.
