Talk Less, Smile More

Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for.

I like to think for a moment that I am confident

Hmm, things are in an odd place. Two steps forward, one step back. One more step back, starting from scratch. This time, this time... maybe I'll find happiness.

Looking for a movie ending

I broke up with my boyfriend.

I moved into my own place again.

I'm alone and what's most troubling is that I need the isolation.

What does that even mean, anyway?

The Question

Why would a person stop working on a solvable problem?

I feel that this needs to be preserved somewhere.

A fatty sat down in the window
The window I wanted to use
That f*cker is sitting in my window
And now we are going to lose

Belated Resolutions Recap 2017

2016 Rollover

• Cook a meal once a month
• Haha, nope. I think I'm finally ready to punt on this one...
• X Take a pottery class
• X Burning Man
• Take a yoga class
• Sort of. I started going to one at the beginning of the year, but as time went on, couldn't muster the energy to get up early enough to keep going to it. Let's try again this year...
• Continue drawing
• Noooo. The Crocks were not revived in 2017 either.
• X Revisit climbing
• Check! I bought some shoes, I got a gym membership, and I try to go at least once a week. At this point, I can finish most V2s and start (but not finish) most V3s.

2017

• X Diversify my investment portfolio even more
• X Continue boot camping
• Reconnect with old friends
• Nope. Couldn't get myself to want to do this one...
• Eat more meat
• Sort of. At the end of 2017, I moved in with my boyfriend. He cooks excellent meals and so I coincidentally get more protein in my diet.
• Improve relationship with family
• Another sort of. There was a significant breakthrough at the end of the year, but then things sort of regressed. Two steps forward, one step back? Or was it one step forward, one step back...
• X Trust the people I love
• Gonna say check. Medication does wonders.
• Explore friendships with non-Pixar people
• Eh, nope. Friend group is still predominantly coworkers.
• Learn scuba diving
• Not yet!
• Travel to yet another country
• Not yet!
• X Have an IRL relationship
• X Continue to fight anxiety
• Check. Though it's not like I really have a choice with this one.
• X Continue running
• Drink more water
• Maybe? Probably not. I certainly haven't gotten worse, but one could always use more water.
• X Leave work earlier
• Check. Another one that was coincidentally "solved" by moving in with someone.
• Try swimming in the Pixar pool
• Haha, no. I forgot about this one. Oddly, I also found it hard to want to do this one too... It's just a pool, though. Right?
