Let it go, let it go....

So Christmas has been and gone,

Happy new year everybody!


I got three of my four projects finished on time, and the fourth is still on-going as there was a hitch with the pattern I was using so I ended up having to frog it and start again with a different pattern. I've got to admit when I realised I wouldn't get it finished on time I may have got a bit lax. *slaps hand* Easter presents are a thing right?


I'm not one for resolutions really, I think people tend to not stick to them, they're a bit clichéd, but this year I have one clear resolution, stop over thinking things and let them go. Stop dwelling. Look for the positive.


I'm one of those people that hates bottling things up, if there's an issue I would rather tell someone so that it can be dealt with. But I know I also tend to over think or over analyse things, I look for issues where there may be none, I worry. A lot. And you know what? I need to stop.


While I still firmly believer that bottling things up doesn't help anyone or anything, and there is a need to talk things out. I also think I (and many people) just need to stop worrying what others think about me, and stop looking for issues or insults where there are none.


I think, if there really is an issue in your life it'll become obvious. If it's not obvious, then it's probably not a thing you need to be worrying about. If someone forgot to mention something to you or was a bit off last time you talked to them, stop assuming you've done something wrong. Maybe they were busy, maybe they have a lot on, maybe they're stressed. If they do have an issue with you, they'll talk to you about it, and if they don't, then they're probably not the friend you thought they were anyway, so does it matter?


Move on, let it go.


That's my resolution.


And do more knitting. Obviously.
