New Years Resolution: Be Nice to Everyone- but be NICER to the people who matter most and TOUGHER with everyone else

So just for some fun- I'm going to start out by telling you guys my resolution when I was an Edgy Freshman in High School. I wanted someone to ask me "Don't you think you're crossing the line?" And for my response to be "What line?" This was an actual thing I told people semi seriously (Ok it was more of a joke- but I did really want to do that.)

This resolution is better. I've realized something: I am a nice person. So... why is that a bad thing? Well- I'm not sure the people I'm closest to would necessarily agree with that. I'm sometimes very moody and easily upset when I get stressed out.

And I feel like something that might be what is stressing me out is that I'm TOO nice to... people that I should probably be a little tougher with. I feel like people might be under the impression that I don't have a backbone when it comes to some things... and that isn't something I want people to think. I might be too trusting of people which can sometimes make me gullible... and that's just not something I really think I am. It just ends up stressing me out and then I feel like I'm not nice enough to the people I love.

So... yeah I would like to continue being the nicest person that I can be... but I also don't want anyone to do anything fishy and for me to be like fine with that I guess? This is a hard thing to explain- but essentially I don't want to waste my energy being overly nice to people that aren't nice to me in the hopes that that will make them nicer or like me more... it just hasn't been working and enough people I love actually love me that I shouldn't be worried about everyone liking me.

I hope this has helped in some way and maybe no one that reads this will be a pushover in 2020 because I'm really not a pushover and I don't want people thinking I am.

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
