So my New Years resolution this year is a little different then usual. I'm not vowing to lose weight or quit dr pepper. I'm aiming for something that will really affect my day to day life permanently and help me to be a happier person.
This year my New Years resolution is to stop caring so much what other people think of me. To stop trying to be friends with people who clearly don't want to be friends with me. To let the past stay in the past and always look forward.
This year I was so blessed to get a new best friend. Michael has been such a blessing in mine and Landon's lives in so many ways. One of those ways is he brought a new group of friends into my life. A group of friends that functions like a family and not like a high school clique.
It's always been hard for me to let go of old friends but sometimes that's just what you need. To let the past stay in the past. If people don't care enough about you to try and be in your life then why should you worry and stress about trying to remain theirs? I feel like I always thought I knew what friendship was about. Seeing Michael's relationships with his friends has shown me that I really had no clue and has also made me realize, sadly, that I have had very few REAL friends over the course of my life. It has also made me super grateful for the for the friends he has brought into my life.
I hope this change in my life will help me be a happier, fuller person and that I will stop letting my feelings get hurt as much.
What's your resolution?
