Every year this night comes around - the night when everyone stays up all night and drinks with their closest friends to bring in a new year, a fresh start. It is meant to the one of the best nights of the year, but somehow the night always seem to be below average and dripping with disappointment. After the morning Ive had I have decided that my day, and the night to come can only go up hill from here. Ive stacked the fridge with drinks and have organised the details.
When the clock strikes midnight and the new year officially begins its tradition for everyone to make a list of promises to themselves and goals for the coming year. Yes, normally its all talk but the last few months I have been working towards my goal for next year for the past couple of months and am excited to officially have change this year!
I recently read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, my new favourite book of all time. Theres one quote that I think is the most important thing for each of us to remember.
"Every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people."
This year has involved a lot of self discovery for me. I have learnt what I love, who I am, who I can trust, and what I believe in. I have been caught in the idea that you have to live your life for and with someone but this year has taught me, like this book, that you have to live your own life and then share each moment with someone meaningful in your life. A friend, a family member, or a lover, find peace in yourself first.
So this year that is my new years resolution. To find peace and happiness within myself and be happy with myself.
