First, I decided to change my appearance. After my dad died, I always wore my hair down and in front of my face to cover the hurt in my eyes. I asked my mom if she would take me took get my hair cut. She agreed.

I ran up to my room after I got home to look at my new hair. It is gorgeous, I thought. Appearance, check. My second change in life will be, my diet. After my dad died, I ate literally nothing. I suppose it was depression related; for dinner I made lasagna for my mom and I. For the first time in three years, my mom and I shared a few laughs and, finally talked about the memories of Dad. It was a wonderful feeling.

After dinner, I helped my mom clean the dishes and put them into the dish washer. My mom seemed happy, I could tell by the sparkle in her eyes. Later, in my bedroom, I made a list of changes for the future. My next change tomorrow will be, hang out with my friends more often. Yes, I thought, this will definately boost my spirits. That night, I fell asleep peacefully.
