What does new year mean to you?
Last day of the year is where people recap over what has happened and what events that has influenced or changed their lives. Then there’s celebrations and countdowns, welcoming the new year with full of hope, resolutions and aspirations.
Here’s my version…
The past one year involves some major change. Transition from study life to working life, moving back to where I grow up, venturing into an unfamiliar ground and unfamiliar people, added financial burden, etc.
Although I’ve been adapting to the changes for the last half of the year, there’s still certain aspects which make me wish that I have taken a different path/decision. Not to say that I hate the current situation, but just that it wasn’t something I hope for, something that I’ve even tried to avoid.
The other day I was chatting with a friend and she mentioned the more she tried to avoid or disagree with something, the more it comes to her. That makes me ponder about myself. If only I have taken a bolder decision, a decision which many would have disagree/disapprove or find it not logical. If only I would not care so much about what others would have think. If only I have the courage to speak out what’s in my mind and how I feel.
Nevertheless, I still appreciate where the decision has taken me. At least for now I’m close with the people who brought me up. At least my condition now is not so stressful and at least I have something to do instead of lying around aimlessly.
To reflect about the past but not to dwell about it. Hmmm…
Time really flies. Year after year life is thrown with various challenges, events, uncertainties and tons more.
Life is uncertain, death is certain. What have you done today to be thankful that you are still living, still able to breathe?
I’ve done some good, some bad…and there’s no point dwelling over it. hahaha
Well, who still makes resolutions nowadays? And more importantly, to keep it?
What is the urge and the drive to stick to a resolution?
Well, I admit I totally can’t keep resolutions (if I ever do make one). Usually after few months, all will be forgotten, or even if remembered, it’s gonna be just something that runs through my mind and left aside after some slight pondering.
I read an article in the newspaper the other day and what a great resolution the writer has. It’s not about being the number 1 in her company, not about getting that fat paycheck, not about trying to own a big bungalow, not about being the most influencial person. But more applauding is that it’s about the small things that all of us can do to make us a better person or even create a better world.
Well what’s my resolution?
To be more compassionate and kind
To give more and take less
To socialize more and talk more (hehe)
To show more care towards myself & to my family and friends
To treat people the way I want them to treat me
To better control my temper and emotions
To have less migraine attacks (how how how???)

Cheers to the new year. Hope there’s more positive things to come!!
