bleedingangel84So, I was reading over the home page of LJ today, and it got me thinking. There are so many things that I'd like to accomplish before the end of this year, but they are all things that take longer than we have left in this year. Which leads me, yet again, to the thought of New Year's resolutions. I think I've done pretty well with those I had last year, considering all that has happened. I know it's not the New Year just yet, but I think getting a head start on defining what I'd like out of this one could only be a good thing. So much has changed for me in the past year that sometimes I feel like a different person altogether than the one I was last year. And yet, I'm so much the same. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad, but there it is, regardless.
I've caught myself doing a lot of the things that I used to do as a kid recently, just because I miss it. Mostly that means watching a lot of movies and shows I enjoyed back then. I'm finding out that I appreciate them just as much now as I did then, if not more so. There are things you miss as a kid that you can't help picking up on as an adult, which tends to change your perspective. It's good to feel like I have a bit of my childhood back, even if only for a few minutes or hours at a time.
There are different pressures when you're a child than there are when you're an adult. Looking at it from a (slightly) more mature perspective, I wouldn't say that the pressures are any less for children, but children seems to be so much more resilient than adults. Things happen, and children find their own ways to adapt. Most of them aren't shy about telling adults what they need or want, which I think is something more adults should learn from.
Even with all this technology to make communicating easier, we don't communicate what we need to, whether out of fear or hopelessness that things can change. People on the whole would be better off if we could communicate our needs better. It's just something to think about. Anyhow, I think that's enough insight into my weird little brain for now, so I'll sign off. Hopefully my rambling was a little bit cohesive.
I'll give some more thought to the resolutions I'd like to undertake and post again soon.
