I think it’s best to be hard on myself. Be hard on myself, but don’t get caught up in it. Easier said than done, right? It’s no surprise that mentally, I live in, what I believe, to be some tough times for myself. I’m hard on myself because I use it as motivation to improve. It takes too long for me to use it as motivation, however. I live in that bubble. I stew in my own criticism. It’s not healthy and I know it, but knowing it doesn’t change my feelings on the matter. It’s because I truly believe what I say about myself and how others perceive me. That’s what really gets to me the most. ...

Absolutely. I’ve probably mentioned it many times, but Facebook is basically a competition to see who has the best life amongst their friends and family. Everyone (myself included) crafts their posts in order to fish for those Facebook reactions everyone know and loves. They might even know they’re doing it. Their life, compared to mine, looking at it on Facebook, surely makes me feel bad. It makes me questions whether what I’m doing is truly fulfilling me.

Bugs. Sorry ladies, I will not kill that spider for you. Unless I have a bottle of Windex at hand, then we’ll be talking. Or one of those guns that shoots salt at them, that would be an entertaining, yet scary experience. I think that’s it though. Bugs just feel weird. They look weird too. Like a previous post, I’m pretty afraid of being a failure. Though that’s weird to say when you feel you’re already a failure in what you do. When you’re not given a chance to prove anyone otherwise, it’s hard to not feel that way. Some people are afraid they can’t live to others’ expectations. Or they can’t live up to the expectations they envision in themselves. I know that eats at me a lot. ...

They mean nothing if you don’t commit to them. I did it once. To swear off soda for a whole year, which I did to completion. I made no plans to make other resolutions for other years. Mainly because overall I think the concept of New Year’s Resolutions are dumb. It’s only symbolic because it’s the whole “brand new year, time for new beginnings” concept. Without the whole terminology, resolutions are just goals and goals are things you can set any time during the course of the year. ...
