my own 2021 resolutions:

a new year comes at the end of each annual cycle and it can be easy to give up on resolutions because they always come back around, right? however the disaster that was 2020 has really shifted things into perspective for me. this year i’m holding myself to: speaking up and speaking out/not letting social anxiety run my life as much, doing something new every month that challenges me, and feeling unashamed for standing tall, refusing to shrink myself. people pleasing led myself into a lot of situations that could’ve been avoided had i not cared about “being a bitch”, or “being stern.” having trauma as a child really warps your perspective and your personality into a “people pleasing” one but no longer. i’m proud of me. i’m just so lucky to be doing it with my life partner at my side. ❤️
