New Years Resolutions - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Rooni321 · 19th Dec 2011, 11:14 AM

What? No resolutions thread? Come on! Lol

Personally I don't have anything specific, mine would be something along the lines of getting healthy. Because at the moment, I am not! Rawr!

Last years was learning what was really important in life.

Any others?(:

Hana Solo · 19th Dec 2011, 12:16 PM

fiddledeedee · 19th Dec 2011, 01:53 PM

The only time I've come close to keeping one was when I was about 11 or 12; I resolved to read my Bible every day, and kept it through to November. Excepting the occasional sleepover, of course!

I think I might make that one again this year. Other than that, probably to practise my flute daily (minus Thursday, which is lesson-day). I really need to, if I want to be grade 4 by the end of 2012.

DoctorWho · 19th Dec 2011, 02:38 PM

Lose Weight
Argue Less With My Friends
Get a Job
Be more Nice to the guy I like (long story short I am a little mean to him so I won't show that I like him)

Dalmatian · 19th Dec 2011, 04:58 PM

Lose weight (what's up with that around here?)
Work out
Move
Change job
Gather courage to start going to gay bars/centers/whatever
Get back the will to read
Be happier

Messed Up · 19th Dec 2011, 05:36 PM

Lose three of my asses, five of them on my stomach- aka lose weight.

Get trim and sexified with killer abs so I could walk shirtless with an extra small Superman underwear (I’m a medium but making it extra small makes my ass look HOT!) on in front of the house of the guy who broke my heart (twice) and made me feel like I am ugly to begin with and make him wish he could have tapped this. (But he will...I give up easy..but this year my other resolution is to not give up

I’ll get my man- you just watch- photos of our happiness in love will litter EC- oh! Next resolution, be in love...)

Eat healthier

On the road to the Oscars

P.S. The Superman logo is on my crotch- I already bought the underwear at Target last week. I SWEAR! It’s HOT! LOL

Allegro molto · 19th Dec 2011, 06:05 PM

I don't generally make New Year's resolutions because when I do, the reverse happens...

(Examples: 2008- "Why does it matter if I lose weight..." *drops down from 220 lbs to 180 with a flat tummy* 2010 - "I want to lose EVEN MORE! weight!" *gains 50 lbs that year, gets a turkey neck and beer gut* 2011 - "I don't care about my weight this year..." *drops almost 50 lbs (and counting) and facial/neck/shoulder features become more trimmed, muscular and defined* )

....SO! In lieu of this, I'll do the reverse since the opposite will happen, hehe.

Here are the things I'm working toward in 2012~

~I don't want to confess my romantic [or possibly romantic] feelings for anyone. [I want to gain the courage to confess my romantic feelings for someone!] (Although I did something similar this year, even though it was after the fact.)

~I don't want to lose more weight! [I want to lose more weight! (being back down to 180 lbs would be nice...and I'm almost there.)]

~I don't want to have great self-esteem, and I want to be depressed! [I want to increase my self-esteem, and I don't want to be depressed!] (I've actually gotten better with these two [believe or not] this year.)

~I so don't want a boyfriend! [I so want a boyfriend!]

~I don't want to come out of my closet! [I want to come out to at least one or two people that I previously led to believe I was straight!]

~I don't want to take a trip out of state! [I've been out of state before, but I'd like to visit a farther state (like California or New York)!]

yourillusion · 19th Dec 2011, 06:19 PM

Ideally...
weight loss (and keep it off!)
come to terms with who I am/come out more
do some dating

Nazo · 19th Dec 2011, 07:03 PM

I want to be more outgoing at college, especially to residence hall people.
My roommates all leave during the weekend, so I need weekend friends!

MommaFrog · 19th Dec 2011, 07:37 PM

At least start learning American Sign Language!
Get healthy
Be a good Mom

dl72 · 19th Dec 2011, 08:07 PM

I am in shape already, I work out daily, but I want to get more ripped.

PoiYote · 19th Dec 2011, 08:29 PM

I have several generic ones (getting healthier; becoming more outgoing; becoming more independent; getting a job; going back to school, etc.), but the one I'll be focusing on the most is getting back in the habit of drawing every day. It's really strange that I don't do that already since I want to go into animation as a career . . .

MusicMan12 · 19th Dec 2011, 08:44 PM

Simple...to come out of the damn closet already!!!

It doesn't have to be right at the new year, but sometime in the next sixth months

breakingboxes · 19th Dec 2011, 08:45 PM

lose weight without going back to being Ana...

thecat06 · 19th Dec 2011, 08:51 PM

Start being the person that I have been all of this time. (Aka. stop hiding myself to please others)

Rinto · 19th Dec 2011, 11:05 PM

I never make promises, because they're all meant to be broken; that's my philosophy in life.
In the end, I'll just, like, fool myself.

So, I'll try to get slimmer or better grades. I'll try doing something against gender inequality at school too.

Jonathan · 19th Dec 2011, 11:17 PM

I'm going to start working out with my brother. I want to get into better shape, and there's a much better chance of that happening if I actually have someone to work out with me

LdSlnce · 20th Dec 2011, 04:28 AM

I...

Want...

To...

Come out of the closet completely and tell my family about my gender (even though I don't have any idea what that is exactly)! (Imagine that being said really fast!)

It will be accomplished...sometime next year. Maybe.

That and get in some type of realtionship with a girl. Don't have to be together, but more...experimenting

. I know, the shame! My parents would be so proud.

Get some awesome abs!

It's a goal...that I might not meet because I get too bored!
