#resolutions
Everyone on my friends list always makes a new year’s resolution post. I almost never do, because I don’t much see the point in them. Anything I want to change about myself or accomplish, I don’t put off til January 1st…I do it right away!
But I bowed to pressure this year and made my own list. Here it is.
Happy new year, everyone!
I’ve thought long and hard over the past two days, whether or not I wanted to keep this blog. I never really much used it for anything other than reposting other people’s content. Occasion there was when I would post some personal things. I decided to change that this year. I’m not starting from scratch because that just seems fiscally illogical considering a couple hundred people follow me. I may not be everyone’s cup of tea once I venture off into this new direction, but those that want to see where this year’s journey takes me will obviously stay. I’m thinking once I delete all the old content and get started on the new content I’ll link my instagram, just so all my social media is more cohesive.
I don’t know how long this adventure will last. It may only last a week, but I really feel like I should take it through to the end. So many exciting things are going to happen for me this year and it will be nice to share that with other people.
So here’s to the whole new year new me thing! If anyone else is on that same boat, send me a message or comment on this! I would like to know what everyone else intentions/resolutions are for this year! Maybe we can keep each other accountable!

Be The Bigger Person
If someone mistreats you and is sad that you won’t forgive them, that’s cool. You’re already the bigger person for not mistreating someone.
If someone regularly rejects you and feels unwanted because you’re not interested on this one occasion, let them sit with that emotion. It’s not yours to manage and they were happy for you to feel the same way.
If someone never initiates conversations or meet-ups and feels ignored when you stop being the initiator, then you’ve given them some time to themselves to explore why they don’t enjoy making the same effort as you.
If someone feels it’s unreasonable for you to request a contribution to what ought to be shared chores or finances, then they’ll be absolutely fine managing all by themselves.
If someone believes in always getting more chances but not in taking the chance they had in the first place, to treat you with respect, then it’s not a scorched earth policy to just walk away.
And if someone thinks your rejection of poor treatment *is* a scorched earth policy, then that’s pretty awesome. They’ll be too scared of hurting their poor little footsies to follow you.
