okay I just realized that my previously stated resolutions basically sounds like the Serenity Prayer used by Alcoholics Anonymous chapters across the country, only with more profanity.
so, to clarify:
1. No, I am not subtly admitting to alcoholism.
2. By “giving less fucks” I don’t necessarily mean to just accept what I can’t change. It’s more like, not focusing or dwelling on details or incidents that don’t matter in the grand scheme of things, or caring about the opinions of those who don’t really matter to me.
3. By “giving more fucks”, I don’t just mean the courage to change things I can. It’s more like, finding the resolve to focus on things that I know are important even though it is so tempting and easy to shirk from responsibility or things that will matter more in the future than they do now.
4. But I guess I am trying to be wiser in judging what is petty and what is important.
