I know it's a few days late, but I thought it'd be a good idea to ask about any New Year's Resolutions people may have. I've already got a few.
1. Lose weight and get fitter.
For a while now, I've realised that I've been putting on weight, and I've decided that I'm going to try and lose some of it. My problem is that I can't be bothered to go to the gym, so my solution is to start running when I can. I'm also going to use this as an opportunity to get fitter, as right now, I can't run very far without having to stop to catch my breath.
2. Move into my own place.
I've got to the point where I want to move into my own place. I just want more space from my parents, as they're starting to drive me a bit insane. However, I can't afford to move out at the moment - the fifteen contracted hours I have per week at my current job aren't enough. This is why I'm going to do what I can to try and get more hours where I am now, but I'm also looking at jobs elsewhere. I'd be happy to go full-time in a job, which would give me even more money.
3. Crack on with an idea for a screenplay
It's long been a dream of mine to write a screenplay for a film. I've toyed with a few ideas for a while, and think I've settled on something along the lines of a young gay man who's trying to live his own life with more freedom from his very religious family. Now, if that sounds familiar to you, then that's because my idea is to base a chunk of it on my life. I'm not going to give much more away, though, but I think I'm gradually getting enough ideas together to form a decent plot.
My fourth resolution isn't so much of a resolution - more something I'd like to try and work towards. And for me, it's a very big thing.
4. Come out to my parents by the end of the year.
For the past few months, I've been thinking more and more about telling my parents that I'm gay. I know that it won't be easy, which is why I want to try and work my way towards getting to the point where I feel I'm ready to come out. My worst fear is that when they find out, they'll kick me out of the house (which I know is unlikely), and I'm not exactly in a position right now to financially support myself on my own. Which is another reason why I want to get more hours in my current job or get a new job with more hours so that I'll have the money to support myself in my own place should the worst end up happening.
So that's all I've come up with at the moment. Anyone else got any resolutions they'd like to share?
