How to be more decisive
It took me
5 years
It made me
empowered

How I did it: I started picking what I wanted to do, being DECISIVE and I've never been happier. I focused on my goals and what I like to do to help me make decisions. I don't doubt my decisions anymore. I know I can always make another decision after the preliminary choice is made. I don't feel stuck anymore. =) Read how I did it…

How to beat my depression
It took me
8 years
It made me
exultant

How I did it: I started to realize that people really did care for me and wanted what was best for me. Because most of my depression stemmed from social feelings of inadequacy, I found out that I needed to please myself. I was also sick of feeling dismal everyday so I tried to change up my routine, getting rides from different friends, taking the bus, getting involved in clubs, speaking to peers and not being so sensitive and uptight. I know that I am … Read how I did it…

How to vote
It took me
1 day
It made me
accomplished

How I did it: I sent in a voter registration form to my state board of elections, well in advance to voting day, taking advantage of my age to vote. I recieved a voting card and note in the mail telling me I was registered and where to vote. On election day I signed my name, got a quick lesson on how to use the lever machine and voted.

do something that surprises, inspires, and terrifies me (read all 4 entries…)
i'm in spain 4 months ago

pretty scary i’m not going to lie.
my spanish isn’t great and i’ve had a lot of communication problems. i’m a little scared of everything, i’m scared of people walking up to me and bombarding me with spanish, i’m scared of activites with my group and i’m scared of the silence between me and my host mom. But at the same time, its different and I’d rather be here than home.

write a book (read all 10 entries…)
Untitled 4 months ago

I realized what my stumbling block is.

That I cut my thoughts short in my writing, I write like I assume everyone already knows what I’m thinking… so I leave out the necessary details… the inner psyche, the reason why it is so clear to me.

I need to start spending time expanding my ideas. To take each part and expand it. I need to have distinguishable quotable didactic lines. Lines that say something that stands out, that can be quoted, that are wisdom.

Those I realized are my favorite types of books, books that leave you with wisdom, books about the inner psyche.
