2014

2014. 

     We're eight days in and with every day another glorious plan for the future is made. A new year is a weird concept. "A clean start" they say, but that's not true. You don't just lose the bad decisions and bad luck because of a new year. 
     This year I decided to make a few resolutions. Resolutions I made because of my past and the future I hope for. I don't wish for a "clean start" my stains will ultimately lead me to better decisions. 
      I'm only going to share a few for the sake of this post. 
       
      1.  Try to be a nicer human.  

I'm not necessarily a mean person, but I do realize that I'm a negative person. I vow to try and be more positive. I don't want to bring people down with my negativity, but rather lift them up with positive words. Or maybe this just means not saying anything if I don't have any helpful words. (It's going to be a work in progress) In hopes of becoming someone people want to be around I will work on this flaw. 


      2.  Not to be selfish. 

I think it's human nature to be a little selfish. It's natural to want everything and yet, give nothing in return. I think to define selfishness would be situational. Everyone has their own definition, but I think they all share compromise. Again, I'm not the most selfish person out there but I do see room for improvement. 

    These two resolutions aren't huge life changing ideas. They aren't going to be noticeable to everyone. I'm not doing them for attention. I'm doing them because I realize that these two things take a toll on those around me. With the risk of sounding cocky, I do know that I am a good time. I know people enjoy my company. However, I equally realize that people can only take so much of a bad attitude before they want to punch you in the face, or worse, stop being your friend. I sort of like the friends I have, I would hate to lose them because I refused to see my flaws. 
     As 2014 really gets going I hope everyone turns to themselves. Ask yourself how you can be a better human being. Don't just accept things as they are things can always be better and I'm willing to bet that you can contribute to that betterment. 

Happy New Year and Stay Sassy- A.
