I have never been one to keep New Year resolutions. Most have been: write more, read more, be more healthy, etc. The usual stuff.
But I wanted 2013's resolutions to mean more to me this year then the past years. Because after my graduation from high school I will be moving back to America after ten years of living over seas. It's a scary experience to go back to a country that you are supposed to belong to, but you don't.
A blogger, Chris Brogan posted this article and another fellow young blogger Emily Rachelle wrote a similar article. Both articles talk about having a word or three words for the new year. The general idea for the one word idea is that you take a single word and live by that word for the rest of the year. I took Chris Brogan's idea of having three words instead of a single word as Emily Rachelle talks about.
I adopted Emily Rachelle's (that is really the One Word 365) and came up with my one word.
Accept.
As I wrote in my previous blog post, I said that I did not deal with death very well. Part of the reason why I do not deal with death very well is because I do not accept very well. I keep remembering the bad things that have happened, but never accept that they have happened. I keep grudges, remember bad or embarrassing experiences, and never let go.
Accept myself for the person that I am and accept the experiences I will go through little or small.
On my hand I wrote Accept and right beneath it I wrote my favorite song title Come What May. I like this song because of what it means,
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of timeCome what may, come what mayI will love you until my dying day
Everything may change, but love will stay the same.
