As we get closer and closer to the end of the month, I think it's time I take a moment to evaluate which of the goals I am working towards and what I am thankful for at this point in time.

Currently, I think I am doing a decent at job at posting here. While I may not be doing it every day, I think about it frequently and want to post more so I'm hopeful that the more I think about it, the more I will bring myself to post.

A negative is that I haven't really worked on my bullet journaling, which is something I really wanted to get into. As a result of this, I haven't done the best job of keeping track of my activities and making sure that I get the things done that I need to. February is a new month though and I am hopeful that I can re-visit this goal once the month starts.

Another positive is that I am now keeping a food journal so that I can keep track of how much money I spend at my school on food per day. Also, I just want to know what I put in my body so that I can be more conscientious about it.

Negative, I have yet to start writing letters and I really need to do that.

Positive, things with Taylor are going extremely well and I feel that our relationship really pushes me to be a better person. I feel more at ease with myself and more comfortable in my own skin and he has helped me realize that it really is okay to not be my best 100% of the time, as long as I still strive for myself. (Mostly it's just a lot of positive energy, which is something that I really feel like I need in my life and I am just so thankful for all of the goodness here.)

Another positive relating to him, is that I have begun to develop a really great relationship with his mom, which is something I find really important. In my last relationship, I didn't connect with the persons family and considering how family oriented I am, it left me feeling really isolated and awkward. That having been the case, it's helping me to really appreciate the relationship his mom and I are building, and just the relationship with his family in general. While I sometimes still feel a little awkward, it's been really great to have someone there as another parental figure who tackles things from a different perspective and who I feel like I can really relate to.

Negative, my headaches have been through the roof and my medication seems to be getting less and less effective, which is not promising for my future and for school this semester.

So, that is currently what the major negatives and positives look like for me and my goals, but I am hoping that the start of a new month will encourage me to work on those more. Also, while today started off really poorly (I missed my first day of classes and wasn't able to take care of any of the things I needed to) I have managed to turn my day around with the help of important people in my life and I feel like that's an important thing for me, considering in the past I have managed to let my frustrations hold me down for days. So, I'm hopeful that this is a step in the right direction and I can keep this kind of mindset up.
