Im not big on resolutions.

But still, definitely a raccoon.

I will still struggle to understand what a budget is and how to implement it.

Im not intending this to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I know that real change takes years.

And its not something that happens just because I made a resolution.

But Im not a total grinch.

I can get behind the introspection resolutions require.

And damn, a bitch been in an introspective mood!!!

So here are some realistic resolutions Im trying for in 2018.

1.I will go to sleep before texting an ex back.

I can address the situation in the morning after a solid 8 hours of sleep.

Plus, its lowkey a power move.

2.Ill eat one vegetable a day.

Three if Im feeling spicy.

4.I also will stop trying to assess if people on Instagram are fake smiling or genuine smiling.

Like, who the fuck do I think I am?

Go home, ME.

5.I will tell the people I admire how much I admire them.

And I wont wait for arbitrary holidays or dates to do so.

Ill just do it when I feel like it.

Because we all need to know when were appreciated, ya dig?

6.Im going to see a therapist.

Even if I felt sexier at 18.

IM NOT 18 AND I NEVER WILL BE, I MUST ACCEPT THIS.

10.Ill build my savings back up.

Whatever I can, I GUESS.

11.Ill stop offering to buy groups of people drinks at bars.

12.I will be open to travel even though I pretty much hate traveling.

13.Ill be grateful for what I have.

And remind myself that when I feel like life is a piece of shit.

14.Ill kiss him as often as I can.

15.Ill say I love you to anyone I love as often as I can.

16.Ill volunteer with causes I believe in.

17.Ill stop assuming everything is going to fall apart.

Ill wait until it actually does.
