I'm doing 41 things
As much as I’ve tried to do this, there really isn’t a way to accomplish this goal without looking like a big jerk. That’s not really my thing, so I’m going to give up on this one. Perhaps the world will miraculously learn where apostrophes go, but until that happens I’ll suffer in silence.

Allow myself to only be treated well by the people I choose to have friendships and relationships with. If they do not, I need to find the courage to move on without them. (read all 6 entries…)
I’ve found that there are people who really care about me, and I shouldn’t waste my time on the people who don’t, or only care when it’s convenient for them. I haven’t gone so far as to officially break ties with people, but I’ve definitely stopped reaching out to the people who don’t make me feel good about myself. Some of them are friends, some of them are family. I’m really proud of myself for this, and I’ll call this complete now.
So the other day I asked my boyfriend to start teaching me to play, and dudes, it’s effin’ hard! My fingers hurt and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to contort my hand the way I’d need to to actually play. I’m not giving up yet, but it’s tempting.
