Good Riddance 2014!

It's amazing how, an otherwise decent year, can be dampened by grief. Up until October, I would've said 2014 was a good year but it all went downhill fast and I am glad to see it go. 

I'm not going to focus this entry on what has happened - good or bad. Rather, I am going to focus on the future. So during my next few minutes of erratic typing, I am going to explore some personal thoughts, as well as offer some advice to any unknowing eyes that may happen across this.

Life - regardless of how good or bad it seems - is a blessing and it should be treated as such. Spend less time complaining about everything that is wrong and more time being thankful for everything that is right. And if you're so miserable in being yourself that you can't find anything right, feel free to touch base with me and I'll help you pull your head out of your ass.

Let Go - The past is just that, the past. Harping about it, crying about it, shoving it down people's throat every time something new happens, gets old.  So you got dumped, lost a job, car broke down - whatever it is that keeps haunting you - find peace and let it go. I know it's easier said than done but the first step is trying.

Take Initiative - I am as guilty as this as the next guy but some people take this to extremes. If you're unhappy or think your life is unfulfilled - do something about it. On your own. Stop waiting for the world to fix your fucked up existence for you. If you're on the verge of growing up - do it. It's going to happen anyways, so it may as well be on your terms. Stop being lazy, stop making excuses and be the driver of your own fate.

Which leads me to my next rant;

If you're going to do something. Just do it. Stop telling the world about it, seriously. Close your mouth and make it happen. The more you boast about it, the less people believe you're going to do it and ultimately, the less people care. If you're making these continuous posts as a thinly veiled 'threat' or you have some other delusional reason behind it - you're not fooling anyone. You're just making yourself look like a psycho. So if you want a new job, get one. Starting a 'new you', leaving everyone behind. Adios! Going to join that gym after-all - right. Good. Best of Luck.

Seriously, shut-up with the dramatics. Think "Less Talking - More Doing".

As for me? I'm going to try to follow my own advice. I am also going to work on loving myself more. Maybe if I care more about me, others will follow suit. If not, their loss! :D
