The weather has now officially turned from cooky to crazy. Getting to work today was seriously dangerous, and it's a big question mark on whether or not I can even get there tomorrow considering I don't have a ride and I'm dependent on public transportation. Which at the moment, is stupendously lacking.
As we approach the end of the year I've done some serious contemplation on all the things I've learned and I've realized I've spent most of the year cleaning up after myself that I haven't done much learning. But the shiny part of that deal is that 2010 will officially be a learning year, and I can stop trying to compensate for all the time I've lost. 2010 also marks the sixth anniversary of my father's death and I think it's only recently that instead of just feeling absolutely tragic about the loss and how much it's dented my life, all I can do now is just miss him. And in some ways, it's much easier to deal with, because I know I will and I should miss him and it's more of a quiet burn than a crashing meteor.
So I've decided to share my 2010 resolutions with you all, because you're all on my friends list for some reason or another, but mostly because you are all people I care about.
1.
Start being positive! Not as in, being excessively cheerful or some such rubbish, but to stop thinking doom and despair whenever things get tough. All that negative energy just circulates and burns me up.
2.
Read more! My English is severely lacking lately, and I find myself searching for vocabulary and feeling like a second-grade idiot. If anything at all, I'd like to spend time abroad later on just so I can brush up on my language skills. As a writer, I feel like I'm failing myself a bit by letting it slide so bad.
3.
Prioritize! The chaos is not so Homer epic anymore. It's all fine and dandy in the books, but in the real world, it's just messing up my life. That includes figuring out what kinds of people are having a chaotic effect on my life. Not to usurp any on-going relationships I have, but if a person is doing more harm than good to my life, I don't think it's something worth hanging onto anyway.
4.
Be more creative! I'm a horribly creative person, but I've been doing to little to nothing about it. I used to paint, dance, sing, play instruments and above all, write like nobody's business and lately I have done nothing of the kind. I think I'm letting myself go to waste, and again, all it's doing is creating negative energy.
And last but not least, 5.
Go to Korea! And I'm sure it's going to be fantastic.
In an utter moment of unrefined sap, I want you all to know you're all my dearests and I hope everyone is looking forward to 2010 as much as I am.
