For the upcoming New Year, it is traditional to come up with a set of resolutions, and it is even more traditional to ignore them after the first few weeks of January. I decided to compose my own list of actually achievable goals (and no, weight loss is not one of them).
1. Enjoy more pajama days
2. Stop seeing people I could get to know wearing the faces of those that have hurt me
3. Be less embarrassed by how much I love fangirly things
4. Hear the “I love you” in my lover’s hands/voice/eyes even if he doesn’t say it outright
5. Try and get out of bed within the first hour of waking up
6. Trust in what I know and don’t be afraid of what I don’t
7. Go for more walks
8. Tell the people I love “I love you” as if they’ve never heard it before
9. Breathe
10. Write every day, even if it’s just the line of a memo
11. Have that second slice of pie (I could be hit by a bus later)
12. Fall even more in love with the space I’ve created for myself and the world I’m surrounded by
13. Catch up on Doctor Who (and Supernatural and Sherlock and Teen Wolf)
And, lastly:
14. Remember that happiness isn’t the end goal; it’s a constant process
