And someone would look at me up and down, someone who knew
me really well, and would say, “You’ve changed.” And you couldn’t be more right
because damn I’ve changed, I was a different person last year and I am
definitely a different person this year and next year I assure you, I’m going
to be a different person and I don’t think that’s wrong at all, because we
grow, we all are exposed to some unseen circumstances which shape us into being
a better person today. We know better than we knew yesterday and we will know
better than the previous day, every day. I know and strongly believe that
people will come and go, some will be a part of your life for a day, some for
months and others for years, but all of them, be it people who have stayed for
a shorter time than others, but all of them will give you a part of them that will mold you for who you are.
This new year, don’t be afraid to walk up to people and tell
them how you feel, this new year, try to be the bigger person, because
forgiveness is the key to all fixed relationships and ego throws you in the
dump. Don’t let others tell you who you are, because you know yourself better
than anyone else ever did. Society gives you tags, every person in this world has
had a dirty label, not one person in this world has a clean slate and
definitely not one person in this world has been not talked about behind their
back, that’s the irony of society, they might first upgrade you but there will
be a point they will downgrade you. You don't have friends at this point of time, its okay! You'll make new ones, in no time but you have yourself.
This new year, give
yourself some alone time, stop hanging out with people and hang out with
yourself for once, do what you like and not what everyone likes. Take yourself
for a movie, treat yourself in your favorite restaurant, have that dessert
you’ve been craving for, forget about those God damn calories for once, they
come and go, don’t look at the nutritional facts on the box before picking up
something, take yourself for a long drive with music that you like, pamper
yourself and I guarantee you, you’d do it more often once you’ve done it the
first time.
Don’t be afraid of what people think of you, because for
God’s sakes everyone judges! If you want to buy a dress, if you want to do
something to your hair, if you want to dance like a maniac, go ahead and do it,
don’t restrict yourself from something just because you’re afraid of what
people might think of you, because at the end of the day if you’re happy
nothing else matters. Your decision affects no one else, not that person
that judged you, not that person who you thought would judge you, but only
yourself.
So do something different, make this year much more
memorable than the last year, do some crazy things, things you never thought
you’ll do and a be happy person because it’s all about adding life to your
days, than days to your life.
(I know I'm 17 days late, but better now than never right? Happy new year you guys!)
