2017: A Desire to Love Well

New years usually starts with a mindset of "new year, new me." It is a lot easier said than done. My resolution is to not be a hurt person that hurts people. There is a lot to live for cumbering expectations hurt both self and others. I have kept words in my heart that were said by my friend on my freshman hall: "you love well." I want to get back to loving well. After a person falls, they must get up and I do not think I have forgiven all the disappointments that were meant to grow me. Sometimes I feel like I owe people fun stories about college or returns home and feel bad that I enjoy the simple fact of where I am with who I am. Being an incredibly sentimental person I have a collection of people I wish I never distanced from. I have let in people that tore me down and only semi-regretted it. I think part of what it takes to love others well, is that one needs to love their self. I have not been giving my soul, mind, and body enough attention. I will be using 2017 to change that. Then, I will be able to draw from a filling well.
