I told myself that for my new year’s resolution, I’d make goals. I’d give myself something to work toward because in striving and accomplishing, I learn about myself. That’s the other part of my new year’s resolution. I am aiming to discover and learn and in doing so, I hope to piece together exactly who I am. I feel like it’s just beneath the surface and I’ve almost found it. Isn’t it funny how in doing something else you discover yourself but in striving to discover yourself, your attempts are fruitless? It’s similar to the paradox of hedonism. I’ve always said that all I want from life is to be happy. I’ve learned that in doing things I enjoy, expanding my horizons, and opening myself up to new experiences, I am happiest. This might seem like an obvious realization but it’s more difficult than it appears. I might sound like every other college student or anyone else my own age but I believe that every viewpoint is unique although they are often similar. The sum total of experiences is different for every single person. I’m still looking for the pictures to complete my collage.
