Saturday is my 25th birthday and aside from the feeling that I'm getting older, I'm feeling like it's time to make a few changes in my life. I'm a person who likes to set resolutions for the year and while I don't always follow them, I usually try my best. I think starting a new year with some goals is always a good thing, and since this is my 25th year on Earth, and a quarter of my life is done, I think it's time to set some huge goals for myself.

1. Learn to forgive

2. Love harder

3. Go to the gym and don't stop in a few weeks

4. Wear makeup because I like it, not because I feel like I need to
