10 Commandments for 2015
I know this post comes entirely too late as everyone is already rocking and rolling in 2015 but I haven’t really taken the time to make resolutions so I’m doing it now. Here are 10 things that I wanna change or that I’m gonna start and/or stop doing in 2015<3
1) STOP NEGATIVE THINKING
Not gonna lie, 2014 kicked my ass and I’ve fallen into a bit of a downer mode these past few months to the point where I find I have more negative thoughts going through my head than positive ones (and thank u to all my friends for putting up with me).That’s no way to live so I’m taking next level inventory of my attitudes. It’s easy to fall into victim mode and feel like the world is against you. The truth is, people aren’t against you, they’re just for themselves. The only thing within your control is how you react and respond to the chaotic dance of life.
2) BE NICE
LA is a very illusory place. You don’t really know who your friends are here because more often than not, it seems like it’s just about getting ahead at any cost. With that said, I am making an extra effort to look past all roles, accolades and bullshit and be nice to everyone, especially to the people that have proven to be real. These people are fucking rare and need to be treated as royalty.
I’ve been trying to answer all texts and emails as I believe “no” is so much more respectful response than silence. It’s not THAT hard to take 30 seconds to send back 1 sentence and acknowledge the presence of another human being on this planet that is just trying to make friends and make their life work the same way you are.
3) MEDITATE
My favorite form of meditation is breathwork – if you’re crazy like me and find it hard to sit still, you should try it. Every time I get into the groove of doing it every day, I notice increased confidence, calm and focus. Gonna try to keep this up.
4) BE SOBER
For me, complete sobriety has proven to be the most effective way to stay happy and get the most shit done so I’m gonna try and keep staying away from everything that weakens me and feeds my insanity — especially since insanity is something I have got plenty of my own.
I will NOT give up coffee and an occasional ciggie though. Shoot me.
5) STOP BEING A VOLCANIC ERUPTION OF EMOTION
I really need to do this. Not every person I come across needs to be aware of E V E R Y T H I N G i’m feeling at all times. I have mad diarrhea of the mouth and I just can’t fake it. But I’m gonna learn. This year I’m gonna learn to fake it….not because I plan on losing myself but because the depths of my soul should only be open to the ones that take the time to brave the waves and dive deep. In other words – guard my heart a bit.
6) MAKE ALBUM 3
And make this shit with no fear, with no worry about how and if the world is gonna react. I just wanna make it so I can be proud of the pieces of myself I am leaving behind for the infinity to swallow.
7) MAKE ART
make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art, make art.
I mean I just wanna keep making art and supporting all my amazing friends who are good people who are making amazing art. Fuck everything else.
8) STOP TAKING SHIT PERSONALLY
This one is BIG for me. I’m so delicate. The world really hurts but fortunately there are more and more glimpses of the sprakly unicorn monster priestess (with superpowers) that I’m on my way to becoming. I need like 5 more years though.
9) DON’T DWELL
Oh God I dwell….and dwell. Gonna stop dwelling on that bullshit and thinkin’ bout the good shit.
10) BE FABULOUS!
Your life is your canvas and you are the masterpiece. There are a million ways to be kind, amazing, fabulous, creative, bold and interesting. Create yourself! This being and this time is all you got. Don’t let anyone dim your moonlight, my MoonChild!<3
What are your promises for 2015?
