If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving isn't for you.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm really hard on myself.

I shouldn't be, it's just a habit. I expect the best out of myself, before I expect ridiculous things from others. If only more people thought like me.

People have been doing "Year in Review" posts. I'm not too sure if I want to do one, only because this year hasn't gone as I wanted it too, but at the same time, the past is the past for a reason. Why remember your mistakes and misfortunes, when you can instead look forward to new beginnings and adventures? 



No one is perfect, often a phrase we forget, especially in this day and age. Not every boy will text you constantly, no one will ask you out when you want them too, dates don't go as plan, heck, you might even be sitting at home alone on weekends instead of going to parties and hanging with friends. That's not a bad thing.

That doesn't mean your life is over.

Life is always an adventure, a book that we can never find, a chapter that is always being written. Girls are just as much to blame for hurt and pain, and not every romance starts with once upon a time. 

Sometimes, we judge people too quickly. People, their actions, their looks. Why do we do such hurtful things?

We call people awful names. Our ability to speak in grammatical and logical sentences is deteriorating at an alarming pace. Some people who read this won't understand half of the words used in that last sentence.



What we want to be when we grow up will always change. From when we're small, to when we're old. I've noticed that we go from wanting to become a certain occupation, to wishing we were better people, more environmentally friendly, or just hoping that our kids don't end up on 16 and Pregnant. Our goals in life change dramatically. The people we surround ourselves with, change both in body, and mind.



Our occupations change because of the economy, and many find themselves going back to college to pursue a different dream. Our ability to plan ahead is slowly becoming a phase.

But all of this happens because we ALLOW it too. No one is forcing us to change our dreams, wants, desires, we do it ourselves.


Therefore, one thing I want to do during this coming year, is to stick to one thing the whole year. Whether it's a dream, a goal, or a relationship with one of my friends. Whether it's to put a smile on someones face, or to just go on a date on a Saturday. I'm going to find something that makes me want to be happy, and stick to it. For a whole year. I advise you all to take a look at your lives, and find something that you struggle with, and make a goal out of it.

DON'T make it a New Years Resolution, we always break those.

And if you're struggling, always remember you can find at least one supporter,

ME.



Good Luck :)

And what are you sticking to this year?

Have you heard of "One Little Word"? It's actually by a scrapbook lady (Ali Edwards), but she encourages you to pick one word to describe your upcoming year. Mine is organize. I'm going to organize the house, organize my scrapbook, organize my life.
