If this year is going to get better, it's on me to make that happen.

Only three days in and already 2018 is shaping up to be even worse than 2017? Some of it is external, but some of it is just based on poor choices I made. It's the latter part that stings more than anything.

I don't believe in resolutions, but I do believe that I can focus on improving my personal life. I also know the multiple kicks in the pants I've received the last couple days has filled me with a renewed sense of the importance of self-improvement (and self-care) that needs to be undertaken to pull back the control of the possibility of a better 2018.

And you know what? i'm going to do just that.
