Happy New Year!

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!)
