fifteen.

15. "become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in a machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a while day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends."

Well well. Here we are; day 3 with number 15 as my choice of writing today. There is so much in just this number that I focused on just a few parts of it to bring my blog together as a whole. One of my favorite parts of this is, "ask people about their story." I think this stuck out so much to me because I have been thinking this exact thought for MONTHS! It's actually the inspiration behind my book idea :) that will be kept a secret for now, though!

Anyways, getting back on topic! I realized that I am a very judgmental person. More so before than I am now, but none the less, I am. I look at appearances and the way people carry themselves before I get to know them and it's something that I have been trying harder and harder to stop doing every day. It's not an easy things to break but I'm fighting a battle I know can be won. Therefore, instead of doing a judgment on someone I will try to instead look them in the eye, smile and send some caring words their way.

The very beginning of this number obviously made my heart flutter a little bit (well, shit. a lot actually) because I'm a crazed, hopeless romantic. I love romance and I love love. Finding my significant other and building my future with him is one of the most important things in my life. I think that's why I am trying to focus a lot on myself right now. That doesn't make much sense does it? Well, to keep it simple; I am not going to try and bring another person into my life that I care and love when I am still trying to figure out how to care and love myself, as well as figure out who I am (strengths and weaknesses). Make sense now? I hope so.

I think the last thing for this is the beginning, "let cars merge into your lane when driving." I have thee WORST, absolute WORST road rage any human being has ever had. I am convinced. Therefore, instead of screaming at the drivers around me like a maniac I am going to let more than 1 car in my lane when needed. It's the little things in life that matter most, right? :)

Well, I think with this one it's all little things that we have to work on day by day and I think that's why I am so inspired by this number. It's not just one change. It's a bunch of little things to make one big one change!

Therefore, take note and make some changes my lovelies :)
