january 2nd

oh hey it’s the day after new year’s.

i’m feeling really optimistic about 2018. I vented a bit over here about my worries going into this year. Then I had a six hour conversation with a good friend of mine about our fears and excitement going into this year. Then I finally wrote up some new year’s resolutions for myself. I woke up on January 1st feeling more refreshed than I felt in ages.

talking is really really great. I find myself constantly underestimating the good that just talking can do for you. I don’t know why that is. Sometimes it’s just because most problems start off small before turning into bigger problems, and I feel like they’ll go away on their own. Other times I’m just stubborn and want to fix everything myself. Time and time again however, when it eventually comes to a point where I force myself to talk to someone I trust, I invariably feel better. In my experience it always feels like the problem becomes less scary, because I’m not dealing with it alone anymore. I encourage everyone including myself to talk to people you trust more often.

so anyway 2018 right. Last year went by in a flash, but even a single day feels like it finishes way too fast. It feels more and more like 24 hours isn’t enough. You know what’s cool though? That just means that it won’t take much to make 2018 a great year. No single day is long enough to make or break the entire year, so we could just focus on making as many of those small and (relatively) insignificant days as positive as we can.
