Every year just before the new year starts, everyone makes a list of resolutions of things that they're going to do for the new year. I usually did that. Hell, I even made lists of Summer Goals every summer. This year, I didn't. I kept thinking about making the list, but I never did. The new year came, and a few days went by and I decided that I wanted the resolution to eat/be healthier. I want to be healthier because I have so many health problems and risks and I'm just sick of them, so I'm going to really settle down into eating better and taking the long way to class and such. More days went by and I read some random acts of kindness, not just ones from Random Acts, but just people being kind and awesome to other people. I resolved to want to be more like that this year, and hopefully each year after that. I want people to be united in kindness and compassion for one another, and to quote Dr. Suess: "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." And I now find myself with books in my hands, and the familiarity of devouring them in my younger years. I read all the time, and not fanfiction, actual books, so many I can barely remember titles. Now-a-days I mostly just read insane amounts of fanfic and some of it is novel quality. Much of it, not so much. And as much as I like reading it, I'm certain the smut is rotting my brain. So, I'm finding myself adding again to the list: read more books. Novels. Actual things that will help me be a better teacher, student, person.
The point I'm trying to make is, that most people are usually giving up on new years resolutions at this point, and me...
I'm just getting started.
