New Years Challenge, Day 8
Your Resolution
I don’t typically make resolutions, but maybe I haven’t because I’m scared of not being able to meet it.
My new years resolution is to love myself more. Recently, I’ve began to rely on others for my own happiness, which isn’t healthy. I think if I loved myself more, and made a promise to myself to do more things that make me happy, I would find more...
