• HOPES FOR THE NEW YEAR •
There are many goals I set myself every new year. All the new years resolutions that make me feel as though I'm about to become and new, and improved, me. Some of the usual might be:
My biggest problem with the new year is that I always hope to start it as a new person, a changed person. Are my expectations too high for myself? As 2014 draws to an end, I'm looking back on this year with great disappointment and sadness. This year, for me, has been a year of holding back and procrastinating every waking second. If I could rewind, I would start revising much harder and much more from the very beginning. I would make sure I have time for my family, friends, work and the internet all at different times. I would put my phone down for a day and play with my younger brother. I would do my school work as soon as I get home so that I could have plenty of free time afterwards. I would make sure I get a good night's sleep instead of staying up to talk to a boy, who 2 months later, paid no attention to me. But I can't go back. And, with it nearly being 2015, all I can do is learn and act. I know I must not regret the past year, but I much also take heed of things that did not go my way, and I must strive to improve them this year.
This year I think I'm going to make one goal, and that is to live the year as I do. I want the year to unfold as it may, surprising me with every turn I take by choice. I feel that setting myself smaller goals along the way might be much more useful than making one long list at the start of the year, then getting half way through and that list not being suited to me any longer.
So as we head into the new year, I am firstly going to let go. I am going to let go of all the negative vibes I have held within me for the past few months. I am going to pick up my phone and limit all contact with those who only want something from me. I am going to let go of those who have hurt me and leave behind me, in 2014. I am going to let go of all the bad that has happened over the past year and head into 2015 with a clear head. Secondly, I am going to make sure my attitude is positive. I am going to surround myself with the ones I love and put down my phone more than just once a day, when I am going to sleep. I am going to finish what coursework I need to finish and leave the stress behind. I am going to head into the new year with a happy attitude and a desire to throw myself into every opportunity that comes my way.
So to 2015 I truly do say 'come at me'.
