Oh crap! You know what I should've done. . .I should've totally made that previous blog post worth it because guess what. . .it was my FIRST blog post of the year!
Well, I guess I'll make this my first blog post of the year. . .complete with my New Year resolutions! *Cheering audience* And we can ignore the fact that it's actually my second blog post of the year.
Every year. . .every year. . .we all make resolutions to change. We have yet to fail in making them. You may deny doing it because it's so cliche, but you know that you do it anyways because we've all got that one trait in us we'd like to see go. Well, here are my resolutions for the new year:
- Lose weight *no just kidding! I just put that in there for all American purposes*
- Be more patient: that's something I most DEFINITELY need to work on. I'm SO short circuited when it comes to handling my brothers or convincing my parents to do something in my favor.
- Stop converting others to my personal beliefs: I see that I do this VERY often subconsciously with people. When I see that they're doing something I don't agree with, I make them do it my way by telling them that it's the right way. . .but, really, what they're doing isn't wrong either.
- Open up more: If you know me, I guess you're probably thinking that I don't have any more opening up to do. But, I've realized over the past months that I often think one thing, but say something else because I'm too afraid of what others might think if they knew what I really thought. But, what I really think is who I really am. . .and if they like me now, but I don't say what I think. . .then, they don't really like me, do they?
- Be kinder: I'm not one to house strays, help old women cross streets, or smile at strangers. But, I know that when I see someone like that or read about them, I burn inside to be like them. I mean, I know you should be yourself, and never try to be someone else and all that good stuff; but, if you want to be someone better, more power to ya right?

I guess that's about all my resolutions. It's not a long list, but it's a difficult one to achieve. But, that's why you make these promises at the beginning of the year, so that you have an ENTIRE year to fulfill them. And, I for one, am most definitely going to fulfill these promises I've made. Happy New Year you guys. =]
