Resolutions

In the past, I have always focused on myself: my New Year’s resolutions have always been centered on furthering my achievements, bettering my body, achieving new ambitious goals and becoming a better and stronger person.

This year, I want to focus on others: I want to try and find real friends in Los Angeles (the paucity of people I can call “friends” after 3 years spent in this city is astoundingly low – and I suspect it’s mainly my fault) and most importantly, have a better attitude towards people. Not in the sense that I will be significantly nicer, that would mean focusing on myself again. Rather, I will not expect the worst from people, but instead try to see their best.

This year, I want to trust that people , all people, can be funny, interesting and caring. Being alone in L.A. proved once again that I benefit from social interaction and people’s company, and from a schedule made of fun and work events that keeps me away from apathy (now, a “balanced” schedule would be too much to ask, so I won’t go there).

So, after a year of hard work and renounces, I will try to say “yes” more and see where that takes me. Also, I will try to be more sympathetic and willing to listen, and be less concerned with my own life, which, let’s face it once and for all, is pretty damn good.

I earned this life by working hard at it.
Now it’s time to earn some friends.

Stay tuned~

 

p.s. other random resolutions (I am a list person, after all):

- continue yoga
- dance more (there can never be enough dancing)
- explore this damn city!

… to be continued.
