Another year has gone, and another year is to come. 2010 has been quite an interesting year, full of highs and brimming with lows. I went through a couple of life changes and have learned a vast amount of things about myself and others. It was never pretty, but if I have learned anything in 2010, it's that everything (and really...everything) has a silver lining. Always.
I've never been one to celebrate New Year's Eve in a glamorous manner, so this year (much like previous years) I will be spending my NYE in peace and quiet, baking cookies, watching Bollywood movies, and reflecting on life.
At the beginning of every year, I usually make a list of all the things that I expect to accomplish throughout the next twelve months. I guess you could call them resolutions, but they are usually the exact same things repeated every year, so the idea of having resolutions loses its novelty. And it wasn't until recently that I realized that having all these resolutions, from losing an inch off my waist or to getting a higher GPA, adds a ridiculous amount of pressure! And thus, the pressure ends up breaking my own morale and self esteem. Definitely don't want a repeat of mental breakdowns in 2011.
So, this year I'm keeping it rather simple: be true to myself, feel confident, and work hard. With these thoughts in mind, perhaps it would be much easier to conquer those "resolutions" that have been haunting me for the last couple of years. I entered 2010 with extremely high expectations, and while some things met my expectations, I was still left wanting more. All I ask of 2011 is that I will become a happier person and will experience the world as a much wiser and knowledgeable person.
Happy new year to you all, hope you all have a fabulous year full of happiness and life!
