It's cheap to call this a review, I know, but I have fewer reviews than most other blog categories, so just bare with me here. I'm trying to get at least a few blogs in every category.

I mean, what do you expect, for me to do an actual review of a game or some such thing? That's what Waffle King is for. I'm here for serious news and meaningful writing, like when I wrote that thing about the toilet or that other thing about thieving mirror people. It's just what I do.

Anyway, enjoy.

Title In Bold

So, in continuing with my review of 2013 with regard to my last New Year's resolution to have an all around better life, I'll be covering the rest of my list of things about myself to improve; maturity, education, health, love life, and finance. To save time, I'll be covering them all in one go rather than one by one.

It really doesn't seem necessary to give them all their own sections anyway, seeing as how when you take a step back and look at the big picture, most things in life are connected. And yet they also have nothing at all to do with each other. Isn't that something? I'll explain a bit more.

As you get older, you inevitably mature. As you mature and go through life collecting experiences and all that, you also gain knowledge. You become educated about life and the world around you, and as you go through that you, hopefully, grow to be a well adjusted and healthy person, both in body and mind.

When you're a mature, knowledgeable, and healthy person, it becomes easier to love others and to be loved. And I'm sure you could throw something in there about finance too, but let's just leave that bit to someone who isn't as concerned about the length of their writing. I feel like this is going to drag on already.

Moving on, it's in all those ways that I've been able to improve my life. Not exactly in that order, mind you, but essentially that's what I've done.

I mean, I may not be all the way there yet, to being that mature, knowledgeable, and healthy person, but I've definitely made some huge improvements. In the love aspect at least, and surely financially as well.

Not necessarily by doing anything about my personal finances, but it can't be said that I didn't heavily involve finance and love in my life over the past year.

Love has a lot of meanings, too, you know.

For some it may not be the whole meeting and falling "in love", per se, so much as it might be a physical thing. Or at least a physical action and reaction. A love of acting might be more descriptive of the love I've found. Acting for the sake of improving finance.

However, in that respect, I would say that I've matured my acting skills, at least. And I've really learned a lot by doing that. I have.

You may not consider it the progress I consider it to be, but I think that despite the, uh... deceit, I suppose would be the word for it... Yes, despite deceiving this person, the one I'm currently involved with, I have made vast improvements over my previous years.

For example, I do more than just lie now. I fully commit to the act. I may not be in love with this person, but I do make them feel loved. And if they choose to return that feeling through valuable gifts, who am I to complain? I think it takes a great deal of maturity to look past the price of redecorating my home on their paycheck, and to see it for the act of love it really is.

And I've improved my overall health like this as well. It's hard to stay in shape, but it's a lot easier to distract people when you look good, so that pays off. And it's much easier to accomplish when you can now afford to buy healthy food and go to a gym.

So, yes, I'm lying to someone so they'll do what I want, but I think I've made it clear that I'm taking steps to becoming that mature person. However small those steps may be. I am at least eating right, and in that way I'd say 2013 was a huge success and a massive step foward to becoming a mature and well adjusted person. Wouldn't you say?
