A cliché post, but to be honest, I've never been one to care about being cliché. This is a post, obviously, about New Years resolutions. It's only December 14th, but I'm a girl who plans. I've always found it upsetting how others can never follow through with their resolutions, and I suppose I'm also the same way, but that's because I can't remember the last time I even made a New Years resolution. In my world, they were just for people unsatisfied with their lives and trying to hang on to a sliver of hope that could possibly be happiness. Very, obviously cynical, but what can you do. My resolutions are centered around routine. I don't mean the unhealthy ones; I want to wake up in the morning, fix my coffee, do some yoga, and just feel good. Then, I want to go to get in some comfy socks (hopefully my feet won't be as disgusting as they are right now), a comfy sweater, drink some tea while reading a book, and go to bed. I think I'm finding it extremely hard to assimilate into the college lifestyle considering it feels I don't really have an area of my own, but I've decided that maybe instead I could have routines of my own. Stuff that I do just for myself. Over the years, people would tell me how spontaneous and crazy I am, and I used to be proud and happy to be "that girl who does anything." But now I don't really want to. I want some routine in my life, because that's what makes life cozy. Don't get me wrong, though, I want to travel and see the world, but I would also love to come home to a really good book and a cup of tea in my favorite mug (which I'll hopefully make myself at the ceramic studio). There's something about routines. There are so many things hard to control in life, but the one thing I can control is myself. So I'm looking forward to New Year's and the new year, new me (yes - that's a meme) and I plan to stick with it. I hope you are, too.
artfully yours
P.S. I realize my existential college student voice has wavered a bit in this post, but I never claimed every single thought in my ever-moving brain was a deep one. :)
