“A New Year’s resolution is a commitment that a person makes to one or more personal goals, projects or the reforming of a habit.”
Yeah, so not paying attention to the last part about habits. I happen to like the vices I have and don’t feel the need just yet to delete them. But with this upcoming year guaranteed to bring many changes in my life, I do feel that regrouping my inner priorities is in order. In other words, watch out bitches, I’m making 2013 the Year of Awesome, aka Erin.
Now since I’m not Houdini nor do I have the balls to rob a bank so to be happy with wealth, I’m going to have to achieve this mental transformation with just me, myself and I. First step, stop being so g*damn sensitive. Since I made my grand entrance into this world, my sensitivity has been a family joke. But seriously, my panties really have to stop bunching up so much; it’s going to cause me to chafe.
Secondly, for those poor souls who have been privy to this spectacular trait of mine, it’s no secret that I get a ton of mental exercise jumping to conclusions, so maybe joining a gym or, oh, I don’t know, a boot camp for crazies will kick that mental hiccup out of me.
I have to give the right people the benefit of the doubt and stop making excuses for the wrong ones. If an excuse has to be made in the first place, are they really worth the effort?
I’m trying to make my resolutions realistic so I really can’t foresee myself changing my sarcastic tongue, but maybe working on my patience is in order. The first step is knowing that I have none.
With all joking aside, I do need to make some personal changes, as do most of us. I do believe mine are attainable, although they may cost me some of the little sanity I have left, but with some focus, confidence and vodka, I feel that I have a 100% shot at making this a year of new positive beginnings.
I have 365 days to try.
