A glimpse into my personal insanity

So for the past year, as I'm sure many of you have, lots of goals were set and not all were achieved. But of course, goals change. They change shape, need more time or less, require more effort or less, need to be placed on the back burner or shoved in front... whatever the goal is, as long as I was working towards it, that was what kept me going. New goals? Well, duh! Of course I have new goals! Some I made last year FOR this year, but they're goals nonetheless.

But as per usual, I end up adding more people to my list that I want to give to, and that's why I end up running out of time. But look at this blog so far. In two paragraphs I managed to us the word "I" so many times it's disgusting. And that's pretty much the point, isn't it? This time of year isn't about me. It isn't about what I get or how I feel. It's about how others feel and if they get something that shows how much I care about them. W...
