New Year Resolutions

I wanted to laugh when people started gushing about how they will change so much in 2013. Yeah, right. That won't ever happen. 
Because everyone knows that change doesn't just come because you want it. Either you were forced to change or went through something so life-changing that change was inevitable.
The stuff we mention now are superficial ones, shallow and optional.

So... I made wishes this year. I mean:
"There's no point having wishes if you don't at least try them."
- Sally Nicholls
Wishes
It's different than resolutions because wishes have no expectations and resolutions are excuses to start over because of all the regrets in the past year. I learned this from Avy's blog in her post Mirrors and Smoke.

1. I wish I could stop doubting the words people say to me. I want so much to be able to trust and be open.
2. I wish I could have a real relationship.
3. I wish I could find my real self.
4. I wish I could stop lying.
5. I wish I could forget.

Shh... Don't tell anyone...
Forget

    I understand completely. I have my goals for the year, but some of my wishes are the same as yours.

    Good luck with them all!

    Setting unrealistic goals is just a waste of time. I don't have any new year resolutions too this year so I think I'll just make some wishes, and don't tell anyone :)

      Iron will is something everyone has, but not everyone chooses to use it in the same way.
      I wish you happiness in 2013.
