2014 Resolutions
Jan. 3rd, 2014 12:11 amI've spent several days thinking about these, and these are some things I'd like to work toward accomplishing this year:
1. Write more.
I would like to write longer fan fictions, more poetry. and maybe one day some original fiction.
2. Keep hydrated.
Yes, this is on my resolutions list again from last year, but it's still a hard thing for me to do, necessary or not. I have trouble making myself drink enough fluids.
3.Don't let other people and their fears for me hinder my personal growth.
This is probably the hardest one I've set myself this year, simply because I was raised in an environment of well-meaning people who hadn't the foggiest clue how to adapt to dealing with a child who had Cerebral Palsy. They were (and in some cases, still are) so afraid of me being physically hurt that their fear causes them to act in ways that can be emotionally damaging to me. I would like to find ways to handle this or work around it so that I can be a more self-sufficient and capable being.
4. Socialize and interact with people who are capable of offering support.
This one ties in with the above goal. Having realized that my family doesn't necessarily have the capacity to offer the emotional support I am in need of, I would like to spend more time with people who could possibly offer me greater emotional support. That is one of the many things I get from this site, and I'm extremely thankful that's the case, but I would be pleased to have some sources of support other than my family in daily life as well. I've realized it isn't emotionally healthy to be solely dependent on relatives that unintentionally make me feel like someone's pet lapdog.
5. Learn ways to give smiles to negative people.
This one was suggested to me by my close friend Joshua, and I chose to add it because it seems like a worthy goal to pursue.
Hopefully, I haven't set myself unattainable goals this year. I will do my best to achieve them in 2014.
