I figured out my second New Year's resolution yesterday; it's kind of a joint resolution, or even multiple resolutions in one. Don't bail on the plans you make, don't overbook plans and keep a schedule (on paper) so you remember those plans, try to be prompt and give accurate time estimations. I think those are great resolutions for me because lately I've kind of been a shitty friend in terms of flaking on plans or sleeping through them. But I realized how douche-worthy that was and am in the process of correcting it.
I've been hanging out with lots of old friends this week and it has been awesome to catch up. With some people you have such a strong connection that things just feel so natural all the time. You can go away for a couple years, come back, and have things be the same. It's pretty cool to make lasting bonds like that in your lifetime and I'm happy I have.
This Christmas is going to be probably the best ever. Every Christmas for my entire life my family has been full of drunks who cause Christmas drama and make people cry. It was awful. But now, after all this time, my step-dad, uncle, and grandpa are all sober. Not only that but my cousin is finally home for a Christmas after leaving the Marines, and my oldest cousin moved back home from Alabama about 2 years ago. Basically, it will mark the first time we will have everyone here for the holidays sober. It just makes me happy. I can't wait.
