New Year's Resolutions *
* a little late. Okay, a lotta late. If it helps, they can be for the Chinese New Year. I'm half Chinese, you know.
Resolution the first. I shall laugh every day. At stupid things, at ironic things, at things that are actually funny, or things that aren't at all. Doesn't matter. Optimum laughter is stomach hurting face hurting omg I actually don't even really want to be laughing any more but this feels so good I can't stop laughter, but I'll settle for chuckles, snickers, chortles, giggles and even the occasional guffaw.
Resolution the second: At least once a week, I shall do something I have never done before. Good, bad, indifferent, it doesn't matter. But I am on this earth for a very short amount of time, and routine has become a hungry beast that is eating up all my wonderful plans, grinning at me from under my bed with dreams in its teeth. No more, foul beast. Something new. Even if it means getting off my ass and NOT being lazy.
Resolution the third: I shall not settle. I shall not settle for friendships in which I am belittled, relationships that I regret even as I engage, grades that could have been better or nights that could have been a lot more fun. I shall not settle for people that don't appreciate me, days in which I did absolutely nothing, or conformity to low opinions. I will strive.
Resolution the fourth: I shall learn to accept constructive criticism. 'Nuff said.
Resolution the fifth: I shall spend less time online.
Resolution the sixth: Hahahahaha oh, five. Let's not become too ambitious.
Resolution the seventh: I shall learn at least the basics of Turkish, so I can proclaim my love to the Turkish boy who thinks I'm beautiful.
Resolution the eighth: More conveniently, I shall teach English to the Turkish boy who thinks I'm beautiful so I can proclaim my love to him. But still learn Turkish. Maybe.
More seriously, resolution the ninth: I shall try to make ammends with my sister. I'm a shitty big sister, and I know this. I don't know why I can be nice to everyone but her. It's about time I stopped blaming her for absolutely everything that happens in my life and started appreciating her. Read: tolerating her. Read: this is going to be harder than I thought. But I shall do it.
And finally, resolution the tenth: I shall learn to play the piano. Random, I know. But like getting a tattoo, its an itch that's been there for a while, and I need to just do it. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but I am. After I got a tattoo, I felt a lot better, and I will about this too.
Noncompletion of these resolutions will result in... severe flogging... and... deprivation of... chocolate. SosayIAmen.
