thoughts and resolutions
Sep. 23rd, 2003 12:17 pmDoesn't it seem like all I ever do is make resolutions with myself? Maybe it's my age and the fact that I am going through so many changes. Maybe everyone does it, maybe it's just me. Maybe I should stop thinking about it so much.
It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm going to be nineteen. Next week I'm leaving home. I think it's time I started living my life. I'm going to stop putting things on the back burner. I'm going to stop living through other people. I'm going to take this new chance and make something wonderful with my life. What is a life without ambition?
I'm starting afresh anyway. New people, new place. I can be anything I want to be. Except that's exactly the point: I'm not going to be anyone but me. I'm going to let the real me out and stop living by other people's expectations of me. At Cambridge no one comes with a history.
