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!

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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
