Improved how? Glad you asked. This year, I will not:

#1 Do things just because other people want me to.

#2 Randomly shoot off my mouth.

#3 Worry about whether I'm someone's girlfriend -or not.

So, what will I do this year?

#1 Find my thing and be who I want to be.

#2 Learn when to speak up-and when to shut up

#3 Tell off Jamie Forta and move on.

I'm older and smarter now -- I can totally pull this off. How hard can it be?
