Resolutions for the New Year
I know its so cliche to make new years resolutions, and yes it is already 10 days into the new year so I'm kinda behind. I've been doing lots of thinking, but very little posting, and perhaps have been less than faithful in updating my blog. So here are some of the things I resolve to do this year. Some are pretty standard:1. Loose some freaking weight!
This has to be perhaps the most cliched of them all. Everyone complains about this, but I really need to loose some mid span.
2. Get some fashion sense & a new hair cut
I am embarrassed to admit, I have been sporting the same haircut since I was in high school. Its the same 'good boy' barber cut that I have been having since.. I dont know.. kindergarden? PLUS, I have almost ZERO fashion sense. Just goes to show how outdate and complete uncool I am eh? I think its high time I progress from the t-shirt and jeans to something more updated.
3. Blog more honestly
Something doesn't feel right any more in the way I blog anymore. It feels less raw and frank. I think to some extent, I have subconsciously self cencored on some of the things I write, to somehow 'fit' into the overal blog that has slowly grown in size over the years. which is crazy really. So this year, its back to basics. Write what I feel, write what I think. I will swear if I want to, I will whine if I want to. Problem sometimes is that I sometimes start to reason with myself over my feelings, asking "Should I be feeling this way? Should I write such things?" Worry that later when my anger or frustration or whatever is gone, I might no longer mean what I wrote. Also, I've been holding out on writing the more edgy thoughts & stuff that that I feel like letting off my chest. Well, to hell with that. This year its no holds barred baby, and I will strive to write whatever, however shocking or crazy it may seem.
4. Do some crazy stuff
I think I am getting too old too soon. While most young adults struggle to keep a good head on their shoulders, I think I am suffering from the opposite. I feel that perhaps I have been too much of a goody two shoes. While I know I need to be grown up and mature given my own family struggles, I do feel there are things you can only do while you are still young. Heck, I haven't even been adventurous enough to change my freaking hair style! What does that tell you? I think I maybe I did too much growing up that I accidentally started growing OLD, at least in mentality. So this year, I need to grow younger.
