Declaration Of Independence

[kathleenlee]

i will focus my apathy towards trivial personal issues, and direct empathy and actions towards bigger causes. i shall remain idealistic, but also practice being more realistic when dealing with emotional concepts. i shall free myself of unnecessary guilt and pain, and immerse myself in the strength my family and friends provide me. i shall be strong in the face of adversity, regardless of how it/he/she tries with all its/his/her might to break me down. i will listen and heed good advice, and attempt with all my might not to contradict them with my stubborn nature. i will walk with my head up, and will not be afraid to spit on anyone (metaphorically or not) that even attempts to make me feel inferior to them. i will fight fire with fire, instead of just letting the winds blow the flames away and breathe in more life to my negatively passive nature. however, i will still remain fully aware that "an eye for an eye leaves the world blind," and will not sink to any ignorant person's level. i will learn more about picking out which fights are mine to deal with, and which issues are merely distractions that deserve to be discarded from my thoughts. i will prioritize what's really important in my life, and deal with the misc. later. i will work better at stopping to take people for granted, and not let bad days tear me away from spending time with the people who matter. i shall refuse to let my emotions run my entire life for me.

hi, i'm kathleen, and you're not.
