Christmas is finally over and although it has passed, it
just means that the end of the year is drawing closer. It’s a time where a lot
of us plan New Year’s resolutions and it’s also a time where we reflect back on
the year - for the better or the worst and whether we fulfilled our plans we
set out for 2014 from the plans in 2013.
Alike many others I
admit that I’m a part of the group who doesn’t fulfill New Year’s resolutions
but unlike last year, I’ve changed them slightly. It was more about enjoying
life like I’ve written before, like enjoying the little things, take more
photos, write and read more, go on picnics, etc. Things where I would
appreciate things more and I could reflect back and go, ‘that was an amazing
day’.
Like every year, before
the end of the year I spend the day with my best friend. It’s always an amazing
catch up and just like every 6 months, we ask ourselves, ‘where will we be in 6
months time?’ Of course where we want to be as opposed to where we will be are
two different things but it’s something that’s become a ritual now.
As we demolish our eggs
benedict and venture around the garden café, we realise that we just become
stronger as individuals and we learn along the way. I believe that every person
changes a little by little as each year passes and we learn a lot from the year
about ourselves and about the people in our lives. Sometimes when you feel like you haven’t
accomplished much in the year, that’s a good time to take a step back and think
about it - most of the time I didn’t think it would be possible and I’m always
surprised.
In saying that, I’m
returning back to uni next year as a part timer and it’ll be my last year so
fingers crossed that everything goes well! I hope that my internships and all
the ventures I try and undertake go well as well because I’m kind of staking on
it.
This year has been
amazing and a roller coaster! I wouldn’t have changed much about it and I can’t
wait to see what next year unleashes. Hopefully it’s something good and fingers
crossed that I get to go on more adventures. I know my next stop is Palm Beach
with the lovely E. I can’t wait!
May your 2015 be better
than this year and I’m wishing you great health and amazing opportunities. Have
a great New Years Eve!
