early new years resolutions.

It has been forever since I came on here honestly! But lately I've been thinking about resolutions, and looking back at this last year there are many things I would like to change for this year. Something that has been bothering me about life is that I sometimes feel like I waste too much time. I have a love affair with tumblr and Pinterest, and basically any other social media site. I've noticed that just about in the last year, I've strayed from things that used to make me so happy, and now I just waste my time! I really want to change that. Another thing that I've been thinking about is how quickly memories fade away. It honestly makes me sad that a year from now I won't remember how nice the lady at the movie theater was, or that I actually won a race against my brother on Mario Kart. I've decided that I want to seriously document my days, because memories are my favorite.
So, to bring these two ideas together, I want to make a resolution to first, spend less time on social media. Like, seriously seriously limit myself on it. By doing this, it will leave so much more time for important things in my life. Second, I want to document things in my life. Like, seriously seriously document for a straight up year. So I'm writing down my goals now and posting them so that I'll feel slightly accountable.

1. Not as much social media involvement, because let's be real, who is that benefitting?
2. If I do share things, make it wholesome and good!
3. Carry a notebook always, and write down things that make an impression or that I want to remember
4. Take pictures
5. Write something about my overall day, my feelings, my favorite things, my least favorite things, and do it every day. I'm going to do this on my computer so that it will be quicker!
6. Try every Wednesday (maybe a different day, I don't know) to discuss something that I've found in my week

And I think that's it. Like honestly, looking back at 2014, it was all fandoms and social media and laziness. And sure that's fine, but I mean, where did that get me? I don't feel like I've grown much from last year, and I hate that. I want to be a new, better person by next year, and I am thinking that this can help me do that! So here's to 2015!
