As I promised, I dedicated some time to figuring out how to best improve my life in 2009. There are many little resolutions that can be summed up into one big title: EMBRACING MYSELF.
My differences.
My similarities.
My achievements.
My failures.
My experiences.
My future.
EMBRACING MY LIFE!!!
I may get a little too deep into my 'closet of skeletons' here, but I'm am a guilty party when it comes to compromising myself for others, just to be able to fit in. I've always stood out from the crowd, but I haven't really stood up for myself all that much.
While I appreciate that I have vast differences from many of my life-long friends, I've always secretly wanted to be more like them so I would have a place that fit. So I could be inside that house, instead of looking in through the window.
As I get older, as does anyone, I learn that things change, people change and move on, but then again, so does life. Lately, I've done some thinking, soul-searching if you will, and this year I am not just going to passively say that it's okay I'm different, but then desire something else.
I'm going to live it.
Not just to be 'okay' with it, but love it.
Appreciate it.
Value what I have done so far.
Look forward to what I have yet to experience.
Look forward to what I have yet to experience.
I'm still the same person, just maybe a little more outspoken about it. Not as willing to hide my honest thoughts and feelings. Not afraid to be myself anymore. This is my biggest resolution for the new year. I think it can be a resolution that fits everyone, so I encourage you to try.
