New Years Resolution
8 years ago
General
I have decided on my New Years Resolution.
Ever since sixth-grade, I have subconsciously chalked up my self-worth to my grades and to what other people think of me. For six years, I have depended on the judgements and thoughts of other people to decide whether or not I am an asset to society. This has brought me nothing but pain and self-loathing. I take pride in my successes. But when people ignore them in favor of my failures, the good things don't matter.
No more. I will no longer determine my life's worth based upon whether I have all my assignments in on time. This is my life. And I will work to learn, and to get a job, but my dreams come first. I will work my ass off. But my mental health will always be more important than anything else.
And as long as I am happy with myself, then that's all that matters. If that simple request is fulfilled, then all other successes can more easily follow.
