I read this blog post today.
Lots of them spoke to me. I want to elaborate… now.
#1. Stop spending time with the wrong people. “If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.” This one really hits with me right now. We don’t have too many real-life friends, but the ones we do have are, let’s say, not very likely to drop everything and come hang with us. Heck, even if we plan something out weeks in advance they rarely show up. We’re both to the point of not offering and seeing when they will get around to talking to us again. =/ Why should I spend time wondering and worrying about if they’re coming over or when they’ll call? We’ll just live our lives and if they want to be a part of it, they will. I just hope they don’t wait too long, or it may be too late.
#4. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner. “Yes, help others; but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.” We work way too hard. 12 hour days or more, sometimes. We’ve decided that we’re cutting back on some of our work. We have deadlines, and we know what to do and when to do it. Why half-kill ourselves if it isn’t bringing us anything extra? We have talked about taking classes, whether it’s to further our education (I haven’t been to college), or maybe something fun like a dance class (I love to dance). Maybe we join some kind of club. Who knows? It’s time to stop working so dang hard and to enjoy something for US.
#5. Stop trying to be someone you’re not. “Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.” I hate when people are fake. I hate pretending. I love being myself. Who am I? Glasses-wearing, lover of fun socks, semi-health conscious, music loving, and so much more. I am NOT a girl with fake tits, not someone that will pretend to be into your tiny cock, not going to get pregnant because you “fans” want me to, not doing this to make a quick buck. This is my life that I am sharing, people. Consider yourself lucky you’re allowed to see what you DO see.
#16. Stop being jealous of others. “Jealousy is the art of counting someone else’s blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: ‘What’s something I have that everyone wants?’” I’m guilty of this. I see girls doing so much less than me, that have so much popularity. I realize I’m somewhat niche-based, and that people in the cuckolding community have probably heard my name once, or came across my 101 videos or my blog. That should be enough for me. =)
#22. Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments. “The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.” Know what we did around Christmas? Sat on our butts and watched Community. Great show! We didn’t think about work, we didn’t worry about the bank account, we didn’t worry about the phone not ringing (it barely rang around the holidays). We just sat back and relaxed, and enjoyed our time together. It was perfect.
#24. Stop following the path of least resistance. “Don’t take the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.” I think that 2012 is the year I create some kind of foot site (even if it’s a blog of daily pics) and — finally write (one of) my book(s).
#30. Stop being ungrateful. “No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life.” I realize that I have some pretty awesome fans, some that have even acheived friend status. I have an amazing family. I am healthy, happy, and very lucky to have all that I do. I need to say that more often.
In addition to my “resolutions” of losing a little weight/toning up, and the already-mentioned taking more time for ourselves, I guess this is it. =)
Happy New Year!
