it's a couple of days before the first that I'm typing this. and for at least a week, probably longer I've already been thinking on all the new year's resolutions that I want to try again and will most likely break again. you know. your basic: eat better, lose weight, be kind, stop murdering so many people, etc.
also, read a fucking book. jesus. some people (much better than I people) set goals of like 50 books or more a year and a few years ago, I could probably do that but now, it's... okay, I could read a book OR I could read this fanfic that I've already read three times.
and I'd like to take to take more pictures for instagram but like, I rarely leave the house (other than to work and do errand runs) and when I do, I feel like a knob (nob?) getting out my phone to take a picture. so. I'm thinking maybe #365days #cat and just take a random picture of the cat in the house.
I'm sure there are other resolutions and such. but can I remember them? nah.

Date: 2015-01-04 11:04 am (UTC)so i make a balance between things i like doing and things i feel i should do more. like, i want to read more books. so i set a realistic goal of 12 (i have a friend and her goal is 150+ and that's insane and could never reach it) which is feel is doable. also i read somewhere that the average person only reads 7 a year and i feel i can beat that. also things like, watch 12 docos. sure i'm laying in bed but i'm learning things at the same time.
maybe document your commute to work on instagram. find pretty things along the way and snap a photo of them. i sometimes feel like a knob taking photos of stuff, but i figure that everyone else is doing the same thing.
also i've been enjoying your cat photos. cuuuute.

I've actually thought about it, but my commute to work is not interesting. In the morning, it's still dark and then coming home it's just walking next to traffic.
:) thank you. but just to clarify, not my cat. just the cat that I share a house with.

have you thought about doing those instagram photo challenges? lasts for a month and each day is a type of photo that you have to take? a friend used it to get into the hang of using instagram when she first joined and now she posts like 4 times a day.
that makes it sound like the cat is also renting the place. which i quite like the idea of. (plus, cats do sort of end up owning a place anyway).
