Happy holidays, all of you, regardless of whatever you're celebrating. >w< *throws confetti*

Okay, so this journal is about something a little more serious than just any plain old Christmas journal. :v Bear with me, any of you folks who actually read these things.
Every year, we endeavor to make ourselves better people than we were the previous one, right? That's the whole point of resolutions and such, I mean. uwu Anyway, we all know how notorious resolutions are for crumbling to bits within the first few weeks of the new year. One main reason that a lot of these resolutions fall through is because we don't actually have our hearts in them, because we didn't make these resolutions for ourselves.
Resolutions to lose more weight or to act like a better person or to be more social are mostly fueled by the things that people around you say. It's hard to keep a resolution when the thoughts fueling it are situated in a head that's not yours, eh? :v

So I've decided to really resolve to do something important this coming year. I've always been a bit of a doormat of a person, and it's always taken a major toll on me as a whole.
So no more! *strikes pose*
Yes, I've resolved to not let myself get walked all over this year. -v- I think that's something I can stick to.
The problem is that it starts with blowing off the folks that have been doing it to me for ages, and I'm not good at that? ;v; So, ah, here's to hoping this doesn't turn out to be an utter flop!
