State_of_Trance's post in the "post your random thoughts/feelings" page sparked my idea for this thread and I haven't seen one like this on the forum, so here goes. What are yours?

Here's mine:
You don't have to follow the "easy, medium, hard" thing, that's just how I like doing it.

Easy:
Apply for 10 jobs in the healthcare field in a month.
Post more on the SPW forum or another forum I find.

Medium:
Apply for 20 jobs in a month, but not every month.
Make it to 300 online job applications in one year.
Drink more water instead of soda.
Run more on the treadmill instead of playing video games.

Super Hard:
Find a girlfriend.
Stop swearing under my breath (yea, right :giggle:)
Find my own place to live and not become homeless.

I guess my dream is working towards leaving the town I live, to live alone somewhere in peace save for a connection to family.

I went thru a very painful experience beginning around this time last year and lasting a few months into 2016. Although the situation ended early this year I've had difficulties completely getting past it. I believe I'm finally getting back to me but am still sometimes rocked by unwanted thoughts and memories. So for 2017, my resolution is to completely put the experience behind me for good.

I'm really against the idea of making new years resolutions but I am planning to do this one thing.

I want to leave negativity from 2016 behind in 2017. I want to be more positive and have a more positive quality of life.
