My Overall Resolution for 2012: I Choose Chaka Khan

January 1, 2012 by Skyla

This week I'll bring you a couple of different posts; I started my resolution/goals post and it was getting long. I have very specific plans for my health and wellness, writing, work, etc. So I'll devote a shorter post to those things this week.

2011 was...intended to be a quiet year for me. I just wanted to be "pretty fucking okay" with things. It didn't go badly, for me at least (my nervous breakdown notwithstanding), however things were rough of many people I care about. Many are glad to see 2011 gone. I did lots of stuff, learned lots of stuff about me. Saw things end, saw new beginnings.

My overall resolution for 2012?

I want to be awesome.

Of course, I said this to Dina tonight, and she informed me that's cheating because I'm already awesome. *cough*IloveyouDina*cough*

So, to amend that, I plan to own my awesomeness.

I am taking care of me. I am not worrying about what I can't control and owning what I can control. I will do scary, new things, so long as they don't involve facing earwigs. I am the motherfucking Bitchstress, after all. I will not be defeated by [insert stuff here: bad man and an American stick insect, depression, people through work, boys in general, stupidity, piracy, the need to stab my neighbours, etc].

Instead, I choose vodka. And Chaka Khan.

Er....make that, Gabriella Cilmi.

And Florence + the Machine.

And Poe. (I couldn't embed that one.)

And LARA CROFT.

Okay, and yeah, Chaka Khan.

I rather liberally spiked my coffee tonight. I should probably stop now.

Happy New Year, Chickadees!

I think awesome-me needs to put on Dirty Dancing now as I ought not write after all my alcoholic coffee.

Happy New Year Skyla. And Dina is right, you are already awesome. But glad to hear you are going to own it now too. :)

Here's to an amazing 2012. :) You can do it!
