The date is 6th of January 2015. I can almost see the person reading this picking up a stone and aiming at me thinking, Guuuurl, you must be trippin'. 1st was a whole six days ago surely! You must be wondering what I'm going on about.
That New Year feeling. New Year, new me, right? I've heard and seen this phrase a couple of times. And I've also heard the phrase "That new year new me bullshit". That mentality comes from a combination of failed resolutions and, forgive me for saying this, wanting to seem cool since everyone my age seems to think its uncool to be overly excited about the start of a new year.
I'm not saying that when the new year rolls in someone's life gets miraculously changes and all the shit you did last year gets erased by some miraculous eraser. No no. I'm just saying that its possible to make resolutions and actually stick to them. Because I bet we've all had that feeling that at midnight you can flip a switch, change your attitude, be happier from there on forward... just a general change in someone's outlook of life and....living! That feeling is what I'm talking about. Its like you can be your own fairy godmother and from the time you meet this new you, your life can only get better.
Personally, every year I get that warm fuzzy feeling. I feel like if I start from the very beginning and change things that I've wanted to change, make resolutions and see them through, become a healthier fitter me, get better grades and like school...I won't get into details. I realized that I do change every year! Not necessarily into who I wanted to be but a better version than the previous year nonetheless. I wouldn't want to unlearn the lessons that shaped my personality in 2014 now would I? Its all about perspective. So this year, I'm not fighting this feeling, I'm embracing it. I'm going to write down a couple of things I'd want to do and making a vision/inspiration board and putting it somewhere I can see everyday. I'm putting pictures, quotes, colorful things, stupid things (photoshopped picture of myself on Asha's body from Hit the Floor cuz that woman is fiiine), heck I might even write resolutions like getting a bong. The point is, I can change things on it and feel better crossing things off my list. And every time I look at it I'll get either happy or rejuvenated. We all need some life hacks to make getting through the day easier even if it means holding onto the feeling that anything and everything can change if we put our minds to it.
Cause we all need some more peace, love and some damn imagination in our lives. Namaste bitches ;)
