How was 2014 for you? Was it a good year or bad year? Or was it just kind of meh? It was certainly quite boring for me, to be honest, however, in the news and media, a lot has happened, such as the huge blowup of the events of Ferguson as well as the failure of the jury to indict Darren Wilson, and lots of activism going on in different places such as in Mexico, Turkey, Hong Kong, etc. It's sad that such terrible injustice is happening to people but it's really great that they're speaking out about and protesting against it. Which is one of the the things I hope to do in 2015; educate myself on current events and speak out about the things that I see that are morally wrong.
I've also realized the power of blogging/vlogging and using social platforms to spread information to do amazing things such as save other people's lives. So, although I have literally no audience on my blog, I will start posting more about things that are important to me and my opinions, as well as book/anime-related things. I hope that's alright (who am I talking to? A ghost?).
Here is my personal list of things I plan to accomplish in 2015 (and all of these are very doable!):
- Educate myself of the world today.
- Talk about my opinions and make my own decisions; take charge of my own life.
- Enjoy learning history; it can be very useful.
- Speak out against injustice; if something is wrong, people need to discuss and talk about it in order to get closer to a solution to a problem.
- Get my learner's permit and then later in the year, my driver's license.
- People's opinion of you does not matter. Be confident in your own skin. Don't give a shit about whether they acknowledge you or not.
- Clean your room. Seriously. Clean it at least once a week.
- Stop worrying about whether you can do something or not or over-thinking a situation. Just do it. Nike. (pls sponsor me...jk)
- Be more positive! What's the use of being down and pessimistic all the time?
- Exercise for at least 30 minutes at least every other day.
- Book Reward: For every 2 books I read, I am allowed to buy one book. Also, if I don't really like a book that much, I'll have to sell it in order to maintain enough space.
I hope that 2015 brings you great opportunities and joy. Remember, you survived 2014! If you feel frustrated about your life, or you've been unable to take that first step towards something, think of the New Year as a blank slate for you.
Conquer your fears! Slay some monsters! Become an ultimate badass and reign over your empire made out of stuffed animals!
Have a Great Year!
