You know that thing that happens to your body when you’re about to meet someone first the first time? You suddenly get nervous, slight knott in your stomach, and your heart starts racing.

That’s all.

It’s easy, at least for me, to always look for what’s wrong, what’s not going to happen, what’s missing, but for this year I want to see things in a new light. I want to enjoy what I do have and what is good.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

I see that I’m much happier when I take things at face value. 

I think they more we gain experience in life, learning from mistakes or hurts, we tend to overanalyze or read into a person’s motives. Stop. Give each person a new chance each time you are with them.

A new canvas of 365.25 days to paint on. I’m determined to make it a good one.

It’s the greatest feeling when you realize you’ve been a total pushover for years. 

That’s done. I can’t keep going through the motions of life, relationships, situations. I have opinions, and I’m not just gonna keep compromising to make others happy.
