So last night was Eurovision. The only reason I know that is because my facebook news feed EXPLODED with posts about Conchita Wurst. They ranged anywhere from hate to love and adoration and expressed views on both her appearance, the reason why she won and not that many on the song itself. My news feed exploded with posts about her some months ago when she was announced as the official representative for Austria. Back then people hated on her and said she doesn’t deserve to be at Eurovision (rough quote). All this really bothers me for a number of reasons. 1) The easiest thing ANYONE can do is to hate on someone who has achieved something in life. And then love them when they win and with that win do something for you, directly or indirectly. I don’t understand why is it so hard to support someone ALL THE WAY TO SUCCESS and not just at the top. The ROAD is the hardest, celebrating the win is the easiest. 2) I’m TIRED of people being intolerant towards others.
Well, we're already 35 days into 2014 and I guess this post comes a little late, but I didn't get the urge to write it until now, so here goes. I set a lot of goals for my 2014 self in my contemplative period between my birthday and New Year's Eve and to be honest the list has been growing all the time with constant tiny new little challenges. I guess I need a place to keep track of all this and I don't mind it being public. As little and insignificant as these things might be, they are my little victories and they matter to me. This list will most probably expand as this year progresses, so just in case you're interested, check in from time to time. I will also mark goals I have reached no matter how tiny. I will keep track of my progress on every goal and update accordingly. In 2014 I will: be drama-free for at least (a total of) 10 months this year (1 down) get rid of everything and everyone negative in my life (currently identifying negatives) learn
