The last one is a more tentative goal while I figure out if that's a future I even want, but I'm young, I have time. I guess step one is finding the right person, which I'm just not ready for yet.

The rest, well. This is what my New Year's resolutions will be based off of. Of course, these goals are subject to change based on how I grow and mature and how life in general goes, but if I can accomplish a good portion of these, I will consider it a success.
