Resolution: Journal More

[swandown]

Out with the old, in with the new. I'm going to journal more. Again, like I used to.

Talk to myself to work things out and such.

2010 was a year. An alright year, as good as they have been for me, for the last few years. Still in school, however, finally settled on a major. English. I love reading and I think, with a little work, I might be an

This is really a thoughtful, beautiful list. Really beautiful. I especially like the parts that accept the hard parts in life and yet deal with it in truth and kindness and love.

"Your awkwardness is someone else’s beauty. Your awkwardness is you and you are beautiful."
I like the wording here. And I needed to hear a little bit of it myself--not about physical beauty (Ha! Though that applies to me too! ;-D), but about social things. Yeah. It's sad when something that is beautiful to me is "awkward" to others, but then it is true that every so often, someone comes along and picks up on my beautiful intentions, and then it is even more special.

"Be brutally honest without being brutal."
I'm curious, did you mean to yourself, or to others?

Thank you for saying so. I suppose I was a bit manic and just wrote the list as it is and read over it. I think it's a pretty good bit of advice for myself and anyone else kind enough to take the time. <3

It really does make it all that much more special. It's hard to hang on sometimes but then when one of those moments come, you know it was very much worth the wait.

I think probably being brutally honest without being brutal to others is more easy then being that honest with yourself. However, I do think that I mean it to go both ways. We should all just be honest. But there is no good reason to be hurtful. You know. Like some people who speak without thinking. You can always think and you should always take the time to do so.
