2012! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?


Okay! So...

             It’s the year 2012 and it’s not the end of the world, yet. Just kidding. But hopefully this year will be a good one. I’m not going to read horoscopes anymore telling me whether or not this year is going to be a lucky one, I’m going to make my own luck. And I’m going to try as hard as I can to not be as superstitious as I usually am. Cause wow! I seriously need to get over that. I think those will be my New Year’s Resolutions. I’m really gullible and literal, so I believe anything I read or hear by word of mouth or watch on television is true, which can end up being really annoying. And so when I read my horoscopes, I take them to heart. Yep! I can be pretty silly. I guess I’ll be needing a few more resolutions, but I don’t want to overload. It’s hard to stick with just one to begin with.

             I feel like it’s more difficult to pick up a New Year’s Resolution than it is a habit. Like, if you want to start a new talent or start running on Saturday mornings then you just begin to tell yourself on day one, “Okay! I’ll do this today, and if I enjoy it, I’ll pick up where I left off, tomorrow. (Day 2) Okay! I think I’m enjoying this and I’ve always wanted to do this... not because I’m supposed to, but because it makes me happy. (Day 3) Now I think I’m picking up a new habit, which will eventually become a part of my character. Yes! This is the person I always wanted to be!” Or something can go down like that. But when you tell yourself it’s a New Year’s Resolution, it feels more like a chore. I don’t know. I just hope this year goes well, so everyone can be happy.
