I am fortunate to not have had any "bad years". A whole year of bad would be...well, bad.
I have had difficult times and 2014 had it's share. I don't really do NewYear Resolutions, but I try to have goals for betterment. More on that later.
I was thinking recently about social media and it's addictive allure. I love my twitter, FB, instagram, pinterest, etc. I use it everyday, sometimes to the point of obsessive. I often think, I should just quit, cold turkey! I used to survive just fine without knowing what's what. But then my immediate next thought is that I simply need to know the ins and outs of everyone's (mostly) mundane lives.
This has truly become the norm. We are all able to be "all up in each other's business" without really ever having any face to face time. That's kinda wacky, right? But the flip side is "wow! being this connected is awesome!" I am very grateful for this simple means of staying in touch with so many, but sometimes it feels like I need an intervention. Perhaps I need to come up with a schedule where I only let myself use social media at certain, strict times. I dunno, it just seems I am a lot less in the moment than I used to be.
So, back to 2015. My goal was pretty basic. I want to just STOP. Stop being so hard on myself. Stop worrying what others think of me. Stop thinking I have to be perfect. Simply put, to Stop giving a shit. Now, I don't mean that I am going to stop being me. I'm always going to be generous with my love, I am always going to be emotion and sensitive... And I am always going to want people to get me... so I am likely to continue to over-explain myself. But in general, Not giving a shit will probably serve me well as a mantra.
Alright y'all that's all I got!
See ya.. soon I hope!
