2012 is upon us and I have resolutions.

1. To be more direct with my feelings.

2. To stop (Actually do less of it, not cease completely) protecting people from their own vices, from their flaws, from other people's judgements towards them.
I have to stop making excuses for other people's bad behaviour when the topic turns up in another conversation. I am not their mothers. I am their friend. Everyone has flaws.

BUT.

What I dont like is when my friends tokkok about my other friends like they know each other when I've only let them be around each other a few times. If you want to tokkok, tok la... as long as there's truth in your words and not just your inaccurate, condescending and highly subjective point of view, please, could you just STFU. I will tell you honestly that ALL the people around me who are around me by their own accord are lovely and have a heart of gold and you have to remember that they too have flaws because they're human. So when these alleged flaws are impressed upon I WILL protect them for they have been unduly judged by those not of their peers.

3. Get rid of redundant people in my circle.

Honestly, this world is quick moving and result oriented. I'm not going to lie and say that I'm a peace loving hippy living here on planet earth to just trip and do nothing but exist in my own state of nothingness. No. I have an amazing future to work forward to with the people I know who can work WITH me. An empire will be built with an amazing group of people I hold dear. No, not all of them will be high flyers but they are an important member or society and will be the movers and shakers of the future.

Momo called me out on my classist/strata-ist nature but I say that it's not the social class/strata that I hate, it's the fact that they they have that particular class mentality. Complacency and this idea that things will be the status quo forever, the inability to look past tomorrow, or plan for something, or live for something, or to even realise that material posessions do not make a man or woman. It makes you dispensable, unimportant and insignificant because you become a product for the mass market, the capitalist society that we live in. Their gods are not supreme beings. Their gods are inanimate THINGS! I find it disgusting. They ARE the Soylent Green!

4. Work smarter, play wiser and be thankful for everything.
Life is not just about work. Life is about striving for better things while enjoying also being alive. Life is also about being thankful for the things you have that you needed because the things you want you can get later.

5. Plan. Plan. Plan.
If you fail to plan. you plan to fail..
