A brand new day, a brand new year and things couldn't be any better, could they? I hadn't originally planned on writing about New Year's day or anything but now I'm doing it. Well, I could go about this in a rather stereotypical way but I'm anything but that. So, I'll go about my own way. The year that we have left behind has been bittersweet. I don't know about you but for me there's been ups and downs. Mistakes have been made, things went about the wrong way, but one thing is sure -
I'll have no regrets. Not now. Not tomorrow.
The first day of the new year always seems and feels special. Believe me, I feel it too. Do you know what happens the night before? The moment the clock struck 12, people have been lighting fireworks and bombs to show that how much they're happy that the year 2021 has finally ended - I'm still unsure about how many are grateful for the year past, the lesson learned, the joys the sorrows. But they sure looked happy for the year that has come. You should see the celebration that has unfolded around me, so joyous, so festive!! My workplace has been a joyful chaos most of the day and it couldn't have gone any better - A New Year's Celebration. Although we wish and hope that everything good happens to us and to the people close to us on New Year's with our arms outstretched in a welcoming way, we, however, don't get dealt with everything good. Some good mixed in with some bad, a recipe that life has handed to us and a delicious one at that. Regardless of whatever joy and struggle we may face, we'd hope to face it bravely. Here's something.
I was wondering about the traditions.
I have never been much of a tradition-follower, it's not that I don't like them, it's just not been my cup of coffee and I'm a tea drinker. So, as unconventional as I am, while everyone was lighting fireworks, I didn't light any, not because I didn't like fireworks, but just simply the heck of "I celebrate my own way" kind of. Though this nagging feeling that I have that's making me ask you if you have had any plans and resolutions this year! Funny thing about resolutions is that you can never see one making it through the year - a month or two at most.
Just like promises, resolutions are made to be broken!!!
If you have watched Friends resolutions are constantly broken. Just like Chandler can't go on without making a sarcastic remark for more than 4 days and Ross should never try on leather pants. But the reason I tell you this, these resolutions were broken as fast as they were made. But that doesn't happen all the time. Some just manage to stick to the resolutions due to reasons of their own and I very much respect that much determination someone possesses. Although, I don't lack determination but I simply avoid resolution just so that the mini devil sitting idly over my left shoulder doesn't start poking. I, for one, never make one to break one. But, I have things that I want to do.
I have plans, and so do you.
I have plans this year - plans I'd like to see through - plans that include traveling and discovering myself. So, this year I am determined to do things for my own betterment. Is that a resolution? Perhaps. I may falter on my path, I may stumble and fall but I'll pick myself up and resume.
So, I dedicate the year to myself.
