In reparation, I present to you a list of sorts that I wrote, of seven different qualities I wish to claim as pillars of my psyche.
PRODUCTIVITY:
Set a goal for writing and reading. Get stuff done in a timely manner and just do it. No day should pass without words written. No play time without getting high priority tasks done.
Gosh, apparently I'm obsessed with alliteration today.
As this year comes to a close, I have been making accounts of the past 12 months, and the year before that as well. I weep over how much time I wasted on giving up on things, on people, and on myself. I have said it before, that I'm sorry, and I'm trying and striving to be better. A better writer, a better friend, a better me.
This time, I mean it. The next two weeks are being spent in serious self-reflection and preparation for a new year of challenges, of Writing Dangerously, of Living Purposefully. I'll go more into detail this weekend(see what I did there, I'm saying that so it forces me to write again, or else people will be disgruntled with me, and I don't want anyone to be disgruntled. They should be gruntled. As in happy. That's such a weird word.), but I promise you, I haven't felt this motivated to take control of my life and actually do something since I was a child. I'm so excited to get a move on with my life, and carpe diem my present life. I've been fiddling around too long.
As always, I leave you with a quote. See you in a couple days, and have an amazing Thursday.
POSITIVITY:

POSITIVITY:
Positive attitude in all things, especially myself. This will help battle my depression and anxiety. Work on what I say about self and others. Don't worry too much about future.
PUNCTUALITY:
PUNCTUALITY:
Always be mindful of time. Wake up on time and don't waste time if things need to be done or you need to be somewhere. Schedule slow-down time but always respect others time. Being late is rude. Make a time commitment, keep it.
PLAYABILITY:
PLAYABILITY:
Always make time for play. Be playful and flexible. Life is an adventure, never forget that. Things never have to be serious for the most part. Laughing is a part of every day. Joy is a main input/output. "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." - Mother Teresa
PRIORITY:
Keep priorities straight, focus on long term goals, on spiritual journey, on maintaining good relationships, make decisions on what's important and leave the rest behind. Priority is self-growth to make the world a better place and to live life to the fullest. Be humble, believe in yourself, and remember the Lord.
PEOPLE:
PEOPLE:
"Never forget that there is always someone there for me. I am not alone. Even if there is a hectic schedule and lots going on, never forget about those who love me. Whether stressful or happy play, someone is always there to help." - Kayla Marie Hernandez Community is needed, a good community. Anyone who brings me down or breaks my trust can go. Anyone else, make time for them. They may not stay forever, so cherish them while you can.
PRAYER:
PRAYER:
Mediation and reflection. Spirituality is too big a part of me to just let it go. I can't stand on my own without it. When you're ready, find out why. Until then, faith of a child is all that is needed. I don't need to be a theologian or Mother Teresa. All I need is Faith, Hope, and Love. Especially Love.
