The 10 Days of Paramore – Feeling Sorry
Day Nine
So I know this girl. She is plagued with regret and completely lacking in confidence at times. She constantly apologizes, usually for things she really has no need to feel sorry about. It’s sad and annoying, but only because she has all the potential in the world to be awesome, if only she adjusted her outlook on life a little bit.
Maybe you have a friend like her. Someone who does not quite understand yet that the real tragedy is not in the time we “wasted” making mistakes, but in the time we spend in the post mortem…agonizing over the what-if details.
Oh, if you haven’t guessed by now, this friend I’m talking about is the who stares back at me in the mirror every morning, but on a positive note, the 2010 version of Dianne was a lot better than 2009, so I feel hopeful with the following resolutions, Dianne v.2011 is gonna be even better.
11 Resolutions for 2011
1. To steal the very wise words of a dear friend…learn to fake it til I make it.
2. Learn to play a new song every week on the guitar & play at least 5 of them in front of other people. (I started taking guitar lessons again and so the first part of this resolution should be a breeze, thanks to my awesome new teacher)
3. solo visit to another country – ___ & ___ are looking pretty good right now
4. Train myself to not look more than 4 days into the future and 24 hours into the past
5. Try something new…foodwise (because trying cheesesteaks and burritos worked out pretty good for me in 2010)
6. Upload my pictures in more timely fashion
7. Finish writing at least one of my books
8. Pay all of my bills on time
9. Promise not to do in 2011 the thing that I did at least four times in 2010. =X
10. Be a better friend, sister, daughter
11. Stop apologizing for crap decisions, and just move forward, like today’s Paramore song
~ I’m getting bored waiting round you, you’re not getting any younger,
and I won’t look back cause there’s no use, it’s time to move forward ~
