My gripe with resolutions remains unchanged, if there is something about myself that I want to change or something that I would like to try or aspire to do... why must I wait until the 1st of January to do so? I quite like me, are there little things I would change about myself ... probably, but none so drastic as to set myself an unrealistic goal because of the date and then beat myself up about it a few months down the line when I haven't achieved it.
One thing that I will probably never be able to change about myself in January is the unyielding desire I have to buy a pretty new notebook, and then spend the entire year wondering what to do with it!
Aside from that, will there be a new me? Yes. Because that is the point of life, to grow, to develop, to discover new things that impact ways of thinking. There will be new holidays to go on, new languages to try and learn a week before I go on that holiday, new adventures to be had, new books to read, new crafts to try, new friends to make! All sorts of wonderful new things will happen, and can happen at any time! There are of course going to be less positive new situations, there always are, but there is no point in letting the possibility of a bad situation get me down. If it happens, then it happens, it is out of my power and no amount of me worrying is going to change that.
While I am all for continually growing and changing and learning, this has to be something that I want to do for myself. There is no point making a change because someone online told me it would make me a better person, if I don't agree with that I am not going to do it. I am alright as I am, I don't necessarily need to change anything about myself if I don't want to, the only thing I would ever encourage anyone to change about themselves is just to have a little less self doubt. Be sure in one's self, know that everyone is the best version of themselves and nobody else could do it any better. Don't change on account of others, because it's the trend or someone pointed out something they believe to be a flaw - who gave them the power of ultimate judgement! So, Happy New Year and let's just let everyone carry on being the best version of themselves that they can be!
