"hearts live by being wounded."

because i needed almost a full six months and two days to figure out my new year’s resolutions (fourteen, for 2014).

(and since this is turning into more of a personal blog anyway — i don’t care what the domain name says, obviously — i may elaborate. got some things rolling around upstairs that need to be tidied up.)

1. give more.

3. there is(are) always something(s)/someone(s) for which to be grateful.
4. calculate less. be more adventurous.
9. understand that not all relationships are reciprocal, and that’s okay. people express themselves differently, and people give differently. 
10. surround myself only with people who will lift me higher.
11. find reasons to love/feel positively about yourself.
12. be less quick to anger, but if that trigger does switch, find a quick, self-contained way to defuse it.
13. be more assertive — it’s not wrong to go for the things you want. and remember that occasionally pursuing happiness doesn’t make you self-absorbed.
14. don’t be afraid to be more vulnerable. swing big.
and a bonus, which i include because i have been crushing it: floss more -__-
