starting now i am going to make a conscious effort to appreciate everything that i have in the here and now (even more); no more of this "the grass is always greener" crap. i would be lying if i said it wasnt something ive struggled with...forever, not to mention everyone else in this world. but lately, thinking about all of my travels, emotional struggles with myself and others, and recognizing what makes me happy and where i feel most comfortable, i have realized a few things. one being that i really take for granted what i have more than id like to. its hard a lot of the time to be constantly aware of how lucky and appreciative you are; and those times you do feel this way (consciously) what do you do then? acknowledge the goodness and then forget about it in hopes that you can soak up every second of it.
i didnt make any new years resolutions because i think its a pretty silly concept. ill forget them in less than a month and might find myself disappointed if i dont follow through. thats besides the point, although i didnt make any, if i were to make just one, this would be it.
you should try it.
i love my family, i love my friends, i love my life and i love myself (;alsdflkja SO CHEESY!).
...so there!
