Sassy Year

2013. Wow. I feel as if yesterday was my 21st birthday & that was already 6 months ago. Where does the time go is my question. 2012 was a great year for me. It was my much needed growing year.  Some days I'll be driving down the street & a random memory of what I use to do will pop into my head & I can't help but laugh. Thankfully I've calmed down over the years, but no one take that as me being soft. I have only a few soft spots in my heart & the people that own them know it. When I was younger I wanted so badly to be older & now that I'm here I'm just like why did I want this? That's why one of my New Years goals is to live in the moment. My 20's are suppose to be the best days of my life & I intend to make them that way. So what if I go out & party it up with friends? I'm young. Your only young once why not live it up? Every time someone asks me my age I say I'm the perfect age. 21 :) I've seen so many people settle down at my age & that's perfectly fine for them, but my own personal journey isn't in that direction yet. My Aunt's are always telling me to invest in me & I've been doing just that the past year. 2012 was a blessing for me &  I can honestly say I'm happy with the person that I am today. Who knew I'd finally move away from my first love, Henderson? I sure didn't, but here I am in Reno! Who knew! 2013 I am officially naming my sassy year. I'm 21, single, & fun! What's a better combo? Straightforward Syd is finally here. I don't want to hide my feelings because I'm scared of what someone will say or if they get upset. I've been trying out the being upfront with what I'm feeling thing the past few days & it's working very well for me! It's so much nicer having everything out in the open, less stress. Life is too short to worry about what everyone else wants for you, you need to figure out what's right for you in your heart. Your life shouldn't revolve around what makes others happy, what makes you happy is the real question. That's one thing I've learned this year & I'm sure glad that I did. I will be doing whatever it is that I'm feeling. No regrets this year. My brother Chad who just turned 28 is always telling me to enjoy these years of my life. It's so great to have a older brother who will always guide me in the right direction. He made the mistakes long ago & I get to learn from them. & guess who gets to go home to Henderson this month? Me :) No date yet, but I will be booking my flight very soon. I have to make a trip home before school. Right?
Every year I make a goals list & this year is no different so here it is :)
1. Save lots of money
2. Go on at least 2 trips
3. Always speak your true feelings
4. Stop being a homebody
5. Call grandparents once a week
6. Keep hitting the gym 5 times a week
7. No more holding grudges...on anyone...
8. Don't stress anything
9. Float the Truckee & visit Tahoe in the summer <3
10. Always be the best that I can be.  


Song of the week is: It's Time- Imagine Dragons aka my favorite song right now. It's amazing! I've listened to it at least 30 times. & my favorite lyric is "I don't ever want to let you down I don't ever want to leave this town 'Cause after all this city never sleeps at night"
