i changed a hell of a lot in 2011, and i think most changes were for the better.
my resolutions for the new year are pretty straightforward.
1. remember the fruits of the spirit and live by them daily: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
2. forgive and move on.
3. live in the moment.
4. do work.
happy new year to all of my 5 tumblr...

BRING IT BACK
Sometimes there are things from the past that just need to be brought back.

scream it from the rooftops, i woke up joy-filled this morning!
i’m continually having these awesome revelations, aided by my best friend and music and other great influences, and things just keep getting better and better.
i’m just now starting to feel like i can be truly happy alone again, and to accept love from all the wonderfully amazing people in my life.
it doesn’t...

i am so excited to sing johnny and funeral blues from cabaret songs next semester. britten has definitely grown on me, very quickly.
i also just LOVE the w.h. auden poetry, especially in funeral blues. i’m thinking about also singing stop all the clocks from ned rorem’s poems of love and the rain, which uses the same poem.
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the...
i have this incredible urge to pose as a zombie for the rest of the year.
“i get that. i dated someone last year and i was horribly crushed when it ended. but i hope that if i find someone that can make me as happy as he did, that i wouldn’t let fear keep me from seeing what could happen.”
i woke up today somehow feeling new and different and happy. and i’m giving positive relationship advice.
and i think i actually meant what i said. maybe...
starting fresh right now, not going to let myself feel anymore regret. clean slate boom learning from mistakes and not beating myself up even one more time for something from my past. all i can do is be who i am right now and try to make the best decisions i can.
being bitter and mean has gotten me nowhere. it’s weird realizing that you have done so many things wrong and that you are already paying for them.
i miss you all.

i just haven’t loved myself enough. i’ve been too afraid to just do what i want. remember freshman year when i wore the weirdest shit all the time and genuinely liked everyone? why am i so mean and critical and judgmental now? people say that i’ve changed for the better, but there’s so much that i miss about those times, the main thing being how happy i was. i’m so...
i don’t treat myself well enough.
i’m trying to figure out how not to need people so much. i get so easily eaten up by the smallest things, and that needs to change.
