Sometimes I dance.<\/p><\/div>\n

2015 was hard.<\/p>\n

It was bad at times, even\u2014but as one who is proud, it’s difficult\u00a0admitting that out loud. I’m the first-born of\u00a0immigrant parents (one half of which is a feminist), which means you know better than to admit hardship. To fall is to be vulnerable, and to be vulnerable is to be\u00a0weak. You keep your head up. You move on, work through it alone. Quietly.<\/p>\n

Greater than my sense of pride, however, is the guilt. I’m blessed and I know it: I have a roof over my head, I have a job that I’m excited about, I have a working mind and body, I can afford to eat organic, I’m typing from a goddamn Macbook. I have all that I need and a little more. How could things possibly bad? How could I let myself wallow in self-pity when there is so much worse in the world?\u00a0What’s wrong with me?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s not all happy days and pretty things<\/a>, but\u00a0I’m learning that it’s okay to admit when things get tough.<\/p>\n

I’m happy for 2015 to be over soon. And while the end of a year is no guarantee for things to get better overnight, I’m one of those silly people who believe in the magic of a New Year<\/a>. Clean slate.\u00a0Tabula rasa<\/em>. For me, it’s more symbolic than practical\u2014but sometimes\u00a0mindset is\u00a0all you have.<\/p>\n

And that’s all you need.<\/p>\n

I decided it was time to set New Year’s resolutions again this year. I promised myself I’d try, and in the true spirit of a fresh start, I’ve tucked the list\u00a0right at the front of my Filofax<\/a>\u00a0(filled with brand new pages!) to remind myself of them everyday.<\/p>\n

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS 2016<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Live with intention and grace. Be impeccable with your\u00a0word, always.<\/li>\n
  • Write more. Write often. Improve your\u00a0craft.<\/li>\n
  • Be fearless. Forget judgement\u2014especially your own.<\/li>\n
  • Stop. Self. Sabotaging.<\/li>\n
  • Take more photos.<\/li>\n
  • Curate a beautiful wardrobe, but edit relentlessly.<\/li>\n
  • Be kinder to yourself. (You are your own best friend.)<\/li>\n
  • Celebrate everything and nothing. Burn incense while working on yourself; light candles while working on, well, work. Wear the Agent Provocateur. Stop saving for the ‘perfect occasion:’ it doesn’t exist. You\u00a0create<\/em> it.<\/li>\n
  • Take care of your\u00a0mind, body, and soul. Be conscious. Dance. Stretch. Practice. Move.<\/li>\n
  • Remove distractions. De-clutter. Live more, be online less.<\/li>\n
  • Read.<\/li>\n
  • Save.<\/li>\n
  • Be patient. (Your first place is patiently awaiting you<\/em>.)<\/li>\n
  • Learn. (Re: read more.) Teach yourself\u00a0at least one new skill, digital and tangible. Immerse yourself\u00a0in feminism, past, present, and future. Tackle social and cultural studies next.<\/li>\n
  • Travel more. At least one place, internationally.<\/li>\n
  • Start a new project, or throw yourself into something you’ve been afraid to invest in.\u00a0This is a new beginning.<\/li>\n
  • Stop calling things ‘hobbies.’ It’s a cop-out. You deserve more than to stopped by yourself.<\/li>\n
  • Learn to love the woman in the mirror.<\/li>\n
  • Stop calling yourself a girl. You’re a woman.<\/li>\n
  • Sleep. Wake up early.<\/li>\n
  • Participate. Document everything, write about it, but most importantly, live it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
