What Will 2017 Be?

I was about to write "What Will 2017 Be Like?"


But in 2017,
I want to use the word "like" less.


I want to release "Fuck the Industry"


by January 5.
_____
I want to start performing stand-up in public again.


I want to work my butt off to be a better and better and better
coach.


I want to become the best substitute teacher in Virginia Beach, and Virginia, and America, and the world.


I want to be humble.  : )


I want to focus less on applications in my phone,
and more on applying myself to the world around me.
_____
I want to become better with numbers,
because I'm just starting out on my math journey.


I want to become better with basketball,
because I'm still a baby learning to crawl.


I want to stop using apps on my phone so much.


I want to make more videos, and make this website a playground I love playing on.


I want to learn more and more about standardized tests,
because the more I know, the more value I can give to others.


I want to remember that teenagers are still kids.  Even if they try not to be.
_____
I want to remember that Vanessa is a once-in-a-universe gal.


I want to write more.  And care less.  I want to write without thought of consequence.


I want to let my love win over my fear. 
Personally and professionally. 
Athletically and parentally.


I want to plant deeper roots in our community.
I want to be healthy.  Diet and exercise.  Inside and out.


I want to be okay with ending things.
With throwing things out.
With moving on.


I'm really excited for 2017.


Breathe.
