I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year early... so happy new year! I hope that the year is kind to everyone, but also surprising in good ways because every year needs that.
- ayy and maiyannah repeated this.
-
@sim A happy new year to you as well. I'm sure looking forward to shoving off 2017 in general.
-
@awl Thank you. Well, even though it has been a dark period for me in 2017... it has also been surprising and good. It has brought me my BF... so I can't say I'd want to shove it off. Let it leave gracefully... :) But sucks to hear that you want to shove it off because it sounds like sucky things happened for you.
-
@sim Well some good and bad but I've done more introspection lately and don't like what kind of person I've become. So it isn't much shoving off the year as it is shoving off this skin. The year ending is just a coincidence.
-
@awl I find that each year has a mixed bag. I can understand not liking how you've become... perhaps with the new year, you can think of it as a fresh start and a chance to become someone you will like, to work on improving yourself. I know I'll be doing this. :)
-
@awl I'm not sure that will necessarily work. But if shaming yourself means you take action to change rather than beat yourself up then it could work. I do write things down, and slowly alter things so that I become better though. Better to be kind to yourself during the process... celebrate small victories when you do things that you've set as goals.
-
@sim I don't tend to beat myself up for shortcomings as much as moral character or my outward appearance (not a physical appearance as much as projection). So if anything I'll be more driven to act better, and acting will eventually lead to being better.
-
@awl Then I hope this works out for you. I'm glad you don't tend to beat yourself up... I know beating myself up is a bad habit of mine and I don't wish it on others.
-
@awl Any time, and thank you also... I'd love for some successes this year. I've been trying to get onto stuff that I've been putting off lately. Slowly but surely it is moving forwards.
