Hello new year.

Twenty
seventeen is here. Everyone is writing a list of goals to achieve by the end of
the year. People want to drink more water, get fit, quit smoking, drinking and
be the best version of themselves. Apparently it is common to make such a list,
because it is better to wait for the new year. Well, new year probably means
new chapter in life waiting to be written.
Twenty
seventeen will be my year as well. When I look back on what I've achieved
there is not many things. I have turned twenty and I have no idea where I am going. I
feel like everything I try to achieve ends up a failure. I can never stick to
my “goals”. But seeing everyone achieve what they want and be proud of it made me think
that I can do it too. I do not want to set the bar high and tell myself to get
fit, lose weight and eat healthy (I love McDonald and pizza way too much sorry)
but I do need to take care of my health. Lazy, unproductive and unhealthy are
adjectives I plan on leaving in twenty sixteen. This year is about finding who I
am, what I want to do with my life and be proud of every aspect of the young
woman I am becoming.
I am
tired of waiting for life to get off my back. I am the one who’s going to decide of my future, who I let into my life and who does not deserve a place in it
anymore whether or not they end up being hurt. (A little bit of selfishness
never hurt anyone, right?). One thing
I have learned is to always stick for what you believe in and never wait for
anything or anyone besides yourself to make you happy. Never be afraid of
cutting people off, you should not have to rip yourself into pieces to keep
others whole (said someone smart).
Today is
the day I chose to be happy and confident with who I am. It is not going to be
easy, but nothing really is.
