6.1

With this new year, I am starting my sixth year in the I Ho Chuan, which means that this year marks half of a lunar cycle. when I realized this, it showed me that I haven't been as mindful about the I Ho Chuan as I thought I had been. I've been in it since I was twelve, which means that I've spent a third of my life in the I Ho Chuan. I bring this up, because I don't remember most of it, which made me realize how little attention I've actually been paying to my journey in the I Ho Chuan. I wouldn't be able to tell you a single personal requirement from any of the past years without looking back through my documents, which makes them a "retrospective failure" in my eyes. This year I hope to change that by making my I Ho Chuan experience this year as memorable and successful as possible. Now I won't be able to tell if this year is another retrospective failure until a few years from now, which is why I'm going to be doing my best to make this year stick in my mind for awhile.
