New Year Resolution #1
Wednesday, January 02, 2013
It’s
the beginning of the year and is best to have a fresh start. Ehm, the cloud background is taken by me! I went outside and it seems like a sunny day took a picture of the beautiful sky.

The new year’s holiday is actually a great
time to sit and reflect to your past year. As of for myself – I don’t. [what?] well,
I KINDA, do. I always think whenever there’s time not only in the holiday so that’s what I mean. With a
resolution, I hope you and I can accomplish goal and make that happen. This is
my very first time making a new year resolution – because I consider it as
bullshit. I mean, why should I tell everyone what I’m going to achieve in the
following year? WHATEVER, NOW I’M DOING ONE.
Be
active.
Let’s skip things like making new friends, be
more friendly, because you guys know, that kind of things won’t work on me. So I
will only tell myself to be active in class, and be active in everything I do. I
mean, I want to be more active in
everything but I will focus more on improving in class. “so you’re used to be passive?” – you can say like that. I have
reason(s). My friend doesn’t like seeing me do things, literally everyone. So to
avoid hearing anything around me, I stopped
being active in class too. But as you can see, I’m still actively writing
unexciting things like this and blogging too. I was like this in real life, and
maybe, I will try again. This year I’m going to the 9th grade and I find
it necessary to be active.
Reduce
stress.
Seriously, a 8th grader like me,
what can I be stressing about? That’s true. I shouldn’t have insecurities and
should be living life just fine. Maybe, the only thing I have to do is
studying. But I do think a lot about the future. It’s actually hard to hide who you
really are in fear of being rejected and judged. And that much of thinking put
me into bad mood and stress. I’m stressing over life and future – I’m afraid! I
hope, you guys can help me relieve some stress or maybe we can help each other?
Recycle!
After doing a lot of cleaning, –especially
the day when I found stuffs in the drawer– I found some things that I can use
again. What I mean by recycling here is not recycling trashes, not recycling
plastic bags, but using things again. I found a few boxes and I’m going to make
it into storage box? Things around that. I still have a week left of holiday so
I better start making it and not procrastinate. I won’t stop after making
storage box only, but if I can I will also reduce trashes and turn everything
into something usable as well as promising myself to always use everything
maximally. That’s how you live a minimalistic life!
Love
yourself.
I spent most of the time by reading, and I came
across to a book that said, loving yourself is the hardest thing to do. It is
easy to say you love someone – because they are kind, they are lovable, they
love you too, but what about yourself? This kind of idea, if you ask me, is a
secondary opinion.
I look in the mirror and want to criticize everything
that I see. I look at photos of me surrounded by people and my heart sink –
such a fatass and ugly living creature. I can count on my hands the amount of
times I would take myself out to a social situation and the amount of my
friends as well.
The book said you can improve your life quality
just because you are loving yourself – so I’m really curious –and aware– to
try. It also said that you can even improve your health, relationship with people, etc. I
hope it will happen to me too, lol.

Anyway, 2013 is a personal change, so make
yours as suitable for you as possible. It’s never a wrong list, or a correct
list. You can ask anybody or find a source so you can see other’s and think –
should you do this, should you do that? You can also keep everything for
yourself. Again, it’s never a wrong list or a correct list!
