ladyofleithianJesus Christ, time really flies, doesn't it? Anyway, I hope that you guys had a good New Year's Eve -- I had a pretty good one, really. We had pizza, we watched Despicable Me 2 (which was awesome and amazing), and we Skyped my aunt (which was also really awesome, because we really don't have that many chances to talk with her, as she lives pretty far from us).
*Sighs*
In terms of 2013, let's say that it wasn't all bad, but let's say it was a pretty rocky year. I'm just hoping that 2014 will be smoother (and that I didn't jinx it immediately after I said that. *Knocks on wood just to be sure*), and that I'll be a better person (because 2013...yeah. Not exactly one of my finest years, to be perfectly honest. I guess it didn't help that I was having a lot of issues at the time -- mostly related to stuff like change, figuring out who I am, stuff like that. Seriously, I'm nearly an adult and I still haven't figured this shit out. Sad, isn't it?) and that I'll be able to enjoy myself more.
-I'll actually start taking care of myself, for starters. That includes stuff like getting more sleep, eating better, exercising more (especially considering that exercise does wonders for stress), etc. I think the more I take care of myself, the better I'll feel.
-Speaking of taking care of myself, I'll try and take care of myself psychologically as well. Staying away from stressful things, for example.
-But at the same time, I'm going to participate the best I can in social justice stuff. No man is an island, after all. And if I can at least help make things better, it'll make all the difference.
-I'll cut out the "really" and "if nothing else" parts from my writing -- this was actually something that my mom noticed. Or at least, if there are annoying and redundant phrases in my writing, I'm going to cut them.
-I'm going to continue getting to know myself, who I am and what I want.
-I'm going to be kinder to people. Listening to them, stuff like that.
-I'm going to work further on controlling my temper. Because seriously.
-I'm going to try and appreciate life more instead of being dragged down by it. I mean, the world really is a beautiful place, in the end.
-I'm going to spend more time with my family.
-I'm going to get back into things I used to enjoy.
-I'm going to be more responsible, concentrate on my schoolwork, etc.
-I'm going to try and stay away from things that don't make me happy.
-I will continue to improve my writing and challenge myself.
-I will continue to be a feminist.
-I'm going to worry less about what other people think. (Good luck with that, self!)
-I'm going to spend more time with people.
-I'm going to continue writing, because that's what I love to do.
What about you guys? What are your New Year's Resolutions?

I'm going to find a job.
I'm going to save damn hard.
I like yours. They seem pretty reasonable, easy to reach too. Not setting the bar too high, but giving you something to work on. I like them. Good luck in reaching them! ♥
