being better.


i tend to think a lot about what i want to be when i grow up. not necessarily in the occupational sense, but more like, what kind of person i want to be. i'm still learning, every single day, more and more about who i am, and as is the case with anything in life, there are positives and negatives. i believe myself to be funny, smart, and compassionate. but on the other hand, i'm extremely impatient, i talk too much, and i stress out to the point of mental breakdown. who will save me from myself? 

i'm always searching for inspiration, so much so that i feel like subconsciously i'm just looking for answers. who should i be? how should i dress? what should i do? i came across a really great website today, called five rules for life. it's part blog, part social experiment; the perfect place to go when you've had a super shitty day and you just need really, really great advice. i've been reading it all day. i'm completely hooked, almost to the point of printing the whole thing out and wallpapering my room with the pages. some of the rules make me laugh, and some make me want to cry, but they all make me think. i hope that one day i can be enlightened enough to send in my own rules for life. the ones i have right now are pretty rudimentary: wash your face before bed. wear a seatbelt. no sex on the first date. i have quite a few of those little gems.
