Resolution for life.

WOOOOOAHHHH it's 2014! and let me tell you, i can hardly believe that 2013 is already behind us. where did that year go?! it seriously flew by and i can't believe this is the year I will be FREAKIN' GRADUATING. (holla to all you other class of 14 homies)

so, the beginning of the year is the time where everyone starts setting all these cheesy resolutions, like going to the gym, learning to play an instrument, doing better in school and doing better in LIFE in general. and well.... here I am to tell you that new year resolution's are stupid. so instead of having a resolution for the year, lets make a resolution for your LIFE instead.

Okay so yes, it is a new year, but it's not a new life. Everything that you attempt to leave behind yesterday will somehow haunt you tomorrow. So don't rely on a "clean slate" for things to get better. Nope, you need to stand up and MAKE things better. and here are some tips on how to do so.

So, you're holding on to something/someone that continues to bring you down and make you feel lousy and small. Even though you know you should slam the door right on their conniving faces, you continue to welcome them in with open arms. But LISTEN THE FREAK UP, no. You need to take charge and you need to realize that you don't deserve or need anything that doesn't make you feel like it's summer every damn day. You don't need anything that doesn't make you smile until it hurts and laugh until you cry. You don't need someone who plays games with your mind and your heart, and who is reckless and cruel when it comes to your feelings. Guess what, guys? It's time to slam that door, hard. Just slam it goodbye so eventually you can open a new one to something fresh and better that'll make you realize just how awesome you really are. So if you are hanging on to someone or something that really sucks, let it go (or do your best) and SMILE. Smile because you deserve to and maybe, just maybe, that smile will catch the attention of something even better.

Okay so next scenario: You don't feel pretty, you compare yourself to everyone else and you don't think you're good enough.
Geez this one is hard because everyone has those days. Me, especially. It is flippin hard to not compare yourself to others or to not feel down in the dumps sometimes. Self-love is a looooong journey that is hard to get right, but I promise you the first step to get there is to take that journey. So after you read this post, if you have second guessed yourself so much as once today, go to the bathroom and look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself (OUT LOUD) at least three things you genuinely love about yourself. For example: I love my green eyes, I love my height and I love my ability to laugh about any situation good or bad. BOOM it's that easy. Now you try. This is a challenge I want all of you to take so, for me, give it a try! Even though feeling beautiful is the single most difficult thing ever, I promise you one way or another at least ONE person looked at you and thought, "wow they are truly lovely and wonderful."


Does the world never spin your way? Are things falling apart more often then they fall together? Do you best efforts never seem to be enough? Well listen up, because this one is for you. Life has a way of throwing things right in our face when we least expect it. One day will be full of sunshine, while the next all we see is rain clouds. Life truly does change like the wind and it's not fair! The WORST feeling ever is when things seem to start looking up for you, and then EVERYTHING falls a part right in front of you. That really is the worst and trust me! I've been there. But my dad always tells me that we make our own luck. Which is kind of difficult to believe because I honestly think I am cursed with the most terrible luck in the world even though I try and turn it around...
But what I think he means is, we get what we give. If we treat the universe like our best friend, the universe will give back! So the next time life gives you lemons, MAKE LEMONAID. Don't give up and don't get discouraged. Try, Try, try again. :) Cheesy, I know. But it's the truth!


Basically: A new year isn't going to change much. It is the start of something new, (TOTAL HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL REFERENCE NOT EVEN SORRY WHAT UP) and it is a time where we all try and want to start over on a clean slate; and although we can't run from the demons we left in 2013, we can prevent new ones from coming alive this year! So cheer up. Put a smile on your face. Delete the negative and EMBRACE the positive. Let's befriend life and try and make this year our beeeeyotch.



Hope you all had a great holiday season and I am going to try so hard to get back into the groove of blogging!
