Daphne's Thoughts and Insights

The new year is on the horizon, so I've decided to write about my resolutions for 2026 I hope I can do all throughout the year.

1.  View and treat people from my university as just co-workers. Nothing more, nothing less.
2. Stop caring when people whether online or irl try to force you to be into something, especially if they try to threaten you morally about it. I am allowed to dislike things. I am not legally obligated to fit someone's fantasy.
3. Repeat affirmations that regulate your nervous system every day. Remind yourself that you are safe in your body. 
4. Inhale slowly, hold it, then exhale slowly every time I get angry. If the anger still persists, vent it out in a journal.
5. Read atleast one page of a book everyday. Seriously! Reading helps you so much.
6. Write an entry here every day if you can. Get your words out in English every day somehow. 
7. Watch something every day. Thai GL or Big Brother or whatever. Not doing this before has made you feel stuck, so watch something. One episode of something each day.
8. React slower before making any rude remark. You're usually right but it helps a lot to be a bit more unreadable in your reactions. 
9. Focus on being charming and playful than being the truth teller this year; totally okay to keep your serious edge during work time but let's learn to be playful too (:
10. Stop talking about #That topic. Instead of wanting to talk about them, talk or write about something that makes you happy instead. Seriously. Make it so that you are unable to center #Them in your life for the entirety of 2026.
11. Live your life for yourself. Not for other people's drama.
