the resolutions i never posted

 

I just realized I never posted my official list of 2013 resolutions!
(I have a theory...the best years are odd numbers...)

2012 was kind of weird for me.

I am still finding out me. I realized I was trying too hard, though.

I tried too hard to conquer the world. I tried too hard to check everything off my list.

I tried too hard to predict the future. I compared myself too much to others.

I stacked my personal expectations waaaaay up there.

Good things happened, not so good things happened. Was it a landmark year?

Maybe. Is it okay if I just don't know yet?

 

All I can do is focus on tomorrow, and I will try my best to do just that.

Not next week, not next summer, not next school year...JUST tomorrow. and today, too.

I am going do things just for the hell of it.

I'm not gonna paint to put it up for sale in my etsy shop.

I am not going to go out to take pictures solely for the blog.

I am going to do those things for me, because I want to.

I'm gonna spend money on the fancy arches watercolor paper and mess up on it.

I am going to meet friends and stay out late on a school night.

I am going to turn off the pressure on myself.

 

So, those are a few of my solid resolutions for this year.

One big one for me is to focus on the positivity of my life. I need to do waaay more of that.

I need to find happiness within, in the little things. Not by outsourcing it.

How do I do it? No idea.

but it's a first step!

 

Cheers to 2013, even if I am seven days behind!

Ciao, xo
