Happy New Year!
I've been reflecting on what I want, and what I can control. I want to get a full-time job in my career, to start dating again, to build up my savings, to make new friends, and to read 36 books. I can control the jobs I apply to, the boundaries I set, what I spend money on, and the types of books I read. I want to be content and satisfied with my life in general. I can control how I respond to setbacks.
