Happy New Year, everyone!
I haven’t been on here in a long time… Sorry about that. I just wasn’t feeling completely inspired to write and I didn’t want my entries to come off as forced. With the New Year, however, I’ve been thinking about the concept of “New year, new me.” You know – that cliché phrase that floods Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram every year as soon as it hits midnight? For the longest time, I loathed that phrase. In fact, I was one of the people that snickered at all the people who posted anything along those lines. The more I think about the phrase, though, the more I appreciate the logic behind it. Nobody can change in a day; we are still the same person at 12:00am of the New Year as we were at 11:59pm. There is no argument there. Instead, the New Year simply offers us a chance to open ourselves up to learn and grow as a person over the following 365 days. I know what most people will say: “Yeah, but we could make that change any day of the year. What makes January 1st any different than any other day?” And there isn’t a difference, really. A day is a day... right? Rather it’s the idea of Day One. Starting completely from scratch. There’s something abundantly refreshing about that notion, offering us an absolutely blank slate and encouraging us to start those goals and resolutions we considered throughout the year. Use this New Year to help jumpstart your actions. Work on bettering yourself, your relationships, and your life – absorb, develop, appreciate, reflect. Cheers to 2016!
