I'm finally back. After an unrelenting flow of finals and then gift shopping, I can relax a little tonight. So what was I supposed to be talking about again....Right, Christmas passed by pretty quickly and there wasn't much that happened this year so I don't have much to go into details about. The holidays get less special every year, huh. Anyway, things haven't been all that positive in my family and I've been such a negative person lately (maybe it's all in my mind). Either way, my thoughts haven't been all that nice. I can't blame anyone but myself for that, but I read an article the other day that said showing gratitude can improve your happiness? I don't want to go around believing sappy bullshit that the internet posts up, but it makes sense--I haven't been all that grateful these past few months and I haven't been all that happy either. I've been selfish and manipulative and always just exhausted. And when I'm just exhausted, I don't get rest--I'm constantly on my phone, checking something somewhere. I don't think and write and do actual things anymore. I have to get my priorities straight (not just school-wise). I don't like whatever person I've been these past couple of months, I've realized.

But it's late, so I'll think and write more later.
