Happy 2018, everyone.
Hope your New Year's Eve was safe and fun and that you were able to enjoy the day. That you were able to look back at all that has happened in 2017 and reflect on how you pushed through the hard times and savoured the good. That you learned something new, whether through school or new experiences. That you looked, and continue to look, towards the new year with hope and aspirations, big and small.
I hope that in 2018, you discover new things:
- new music
- new books
- new friends -- or old friends coming back into your life
- new information
- new goals
- new details of yourself
I hope that in 2018, you find love:
- self-love
- friendships; platonic or romantic love
- in nature
- and any other love you may come upon or fight for.
I hope that in 2018, your dreams become reality, and if they don't get there quite yet, there is still time.
I find that looking back on what happened in 2017 helps to not only discover what I need to work on, but also forces me to acknowledge that I did indeed do things to be proud of.
In 2017:
- I achieved grades I am proud of and worked hard to get them.
- I reconnected and strengthened my friendships with people who help better me as a person and help me to grow.
- I got accepted into an exchange program and in a few short weeks, I will be off to the Netherlands!
- I cut my hair short again. Not a big deal, but any hair change is something for me.
- I pushed myself to make conversation with the people in my courses and from that, I made new friends who were supportive and humorous.
- I became more confident about my appearance (and I hope I continue to learn to love who I am)
In 2018:
(instead of saying "I am going to", I am saying "I am hoping to", this way, it creates less pressure and less guilt if a hope doesn't get accomplished)
- I am hoping to leave behind my self-doubt (not an easy task but one that is worthwhile)
- I am hoping to push myself further out of my comfort zone. This lil bubble has got to be bigger!
- I am hoping to learn more about myself and what I want in life.
- I am hoping to eat healthier and find an enjoyable way to exercise -- enjoying it is important or else I'll want to do it less!
- I am hoping to figure out how to better manage my time! I get too worried about schoolwork that I forget to have a social life sometimes.
I hope everyone has a successful 2018 and remember, success is subjective. No one else can determine how successful you are except for yourself.
ok bye
