In the absence of any real crushes or love interests, I’ve decided to do a little work on myself in order to waste time until the next waste of time comes along. I fluctuate between wanting to find love and being totally okay with being single about 100 times a day, and right now I just happen to be comfortable with being alone. I don’t know if it’s the same thing as being lonely, but I have a feeling it’s not.
Anyway, I suppose there’s just not much to say if it’s not about guys or sex or drinking or dating. I’m not doing much of any of those lately. I think that’s a really good thing. Have I said that already? I don’t know.
So here’s my plan:
1. Quit smoking. I’m two days in and I’m doing okay. The only time I’m tempted is when I’m driving. I love to smoke and drive. But I’m learning to cram gum in my mouth if I start salivating over the thought of nicotine.
Seeing myself in pictures with a cigarette between my index and middle fingers is just starting to gross me out. So unclassy.
2. Eat better. Eh. Everyone needs to.
3. Stop paying attention to boys I don’t like just because I’m bored. It’s not nice.
4. Sleep naked. I wake up feeling better about myself. And when I catch myself looking in the mirror at a body part I don’t like, I’ve taken to telling myself it’s okay. Then I hate it a little less. Only a little, but less. It’s a start.
