So, @missy @rambo and @lyxzen- this year I have resolved to not to leave my happiness up to chance! 2014 was rough. It started with a breakup, and developed into a freak accident involving a tree on my car, another car failing on me as soon as I got it, and most traumatically- an attempted murder/arson in my home (for real). Many things in 2014 were out of my hands... I feel like there's often a sense, at least for me, that I deserve a good year after a bad one, and then I'm surprised when the new year is even tougher than the last!!
To that I say: NO MORE OF THIS FOOLISHNESS!!!
I'm 25, and I've started to feel like I've been letting my youth slip through my fingers- now, I'm ready to apply the experiences I've gained through much work and not a lot of adventure to my own sense of pure happiness.
I've never been very impulsive, besides my tattoos and my hair changes. I've always been a homebody. So this year I've resolved to: Live adventurously.
Step 1: Quit the job you no longer want. I'll be working nights as a barista, but I've freed my days by leaving my office work for dog and craft time =D
Step 2: Book flights just cus they're wicked cheap right now. See some place you've never seen.
Furthermore,
I'm looking into traveling to India with my non-profit in fucking March (Holi!!!)!! Now, that could be the most impulsive and nurturing thing I'll ever do for myself!! More. On. That. Soon!
In addition to this, I've resolved to:
Gain fulfillment in learning a trade rather than feeding my vices embracing a Negative Vice:
I've been dicking around with stones and wire for the past few months, and I'd love to continue climbing this mountain through some classes. So far, it's been amazing to see the results of my novice creations. Jewelry and blacksmithery was my family biz back in the day, I'm excited to embrace my future through paying homage to my past <3
Basically, things are gonna be different this year- things are gonna be better, but not because things must be on some imaginary upswing, but because with a new perspective, I'll be able to handle any bad,better!
My happiness will come from within, as I let go of old grudges, and take real action in my life!
Dear 2015,
Do your worst!!
(Stopping myself now, because all my hippie optimism talk might give us all granola fever!!)
