Snowflake Challenge #2 (Public entry)

[author_by_night]

 In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

I think one all-encompassing goal is to not let myself get wrapped up in other people's lives. Here's the thing: I'm both obsessed with keeping the peace and making sure everyone's comfort level is at the maximum level, and highly opinionated. (Though ironically, sometimes just wanting everyone to be happy is why I'm irritable and/or opinionated. It's interesting.) So outside I'm going "yeah girl, you do you!!!", inside I'm grappling with whether or not to say something.  I've gotten much better, but I do need to work towards just letting things be.

Fannish goals, I think maybe giving more fanfics a chance when I have the time. I can be pickier than I like to admit, again on being opinionated, but I think that's meant I've missed out. Honestly, the same is true of all media. I've almost missed out on things I ended up loving because I was dismissive. And fanfic is free. It's a little more understandable to want to hold off on buying something if I have mixed feelings, but it costs nothing to give a fanfic a shot.

Yes, I definitely get that first one, one of mine is to do with the fact that while I also desire to keep the peace, for my own mental health I can't step in with my family (Uncle "Dudley D" has been barely speaking to the other two siblings for the last 4 years, my cousin's husband has been trying to persuade them to reconcile, but after past experiences of being expected to be go between against my will I can't do it any more).
