a lot changes in one whole year, and i know damn well i am not the same person that waltzed into two thousand sixteen last january. i've learned a few things and given a lot less fucks; such as:
1 the truth comes out, always
you can try and hide it but you know, the truth is always there. it's always lurking behind the curtains of your mind, waiting for it's cue; waiting for the show to start. it's the devil everyone has nightmares about - because the truth is almost never good and it always ends up hurting someone. a resolution: tell the truth. even if it hurts.
2 all magic comes with a price
whether it be love, or friendship, or family relationships, all this magic comes with a price. whether it be self-sacrifice, longing, constant giving, constant [or not so constant] receiving, there is always something keeping the fire burning. the only thing is, you have to tend to the fire or it burns out. a resolution: never leave the fire unattended
3 love is not about deserving
because everyone is worthy of loving and being loved to say you don't deserve someone is to say the stars don't deserve to shine. i love the people i love because they are all sorts of kind and beautiful and hilarious and amazing. this is not because i deserve them - because on most days i don't. this is about loving, and at the end of the day that is what it boils down to. a resolution: to stop associating love with deserving
4 everything happens for a reason
whether there is a God or not i truly believe there is a force that drives people together and drives people apart. i believe that i decided to write this for a reason. i believe i needed to let events happen how they did in order to grow and learn and become brand new.
5 always tell people you love them
you might not get the chance to say it tomorrow. to be so full of love and to be so unable to vocalize it seems like a prison to me. love is beautiful and kind and forgiving and it is also blind. but it is so worth it, in all its forms. a resolution: always say "i love you"
6 not everyone has the same heart as you
just because you wouldn't do that doesn't mean someone else won't. for one pure soul there is five ruthless ones. there is always someone who is less kind. there is always someone who is kinder. a resolution: learn to stop over or underestimating people
as you know, two thousand seventeen starts soon. i hope to see you there. i hope it is kind to you.
