New Year, Same You: Happy New Year!


A date on the calendar should have no effect on how you reflect on yourself in the moment. If you’re not happy at this very moment, the clock striking 12 isn't going to change that just because you like to think it’s a magical clean slate.  Be Zen, simplify, and stay positive in the moment. Living your present based on the past will make you depressed, and living worried about the future will make you have anxiety.

Wherever you are now is exactly where you’re supposed to be.  There is no timeline imposed on you by others that dictates where you should be in your life right now, those are your own choices so breathe in and exhale, and above all be grateful that you can do so.

Whether you've just endured the holidays under the scrutiny of a large, nosy family asking awkwardly as to why you’re still single; or you've welcomed a newborn with your spouse to celebrate in their first Christmas, good for you.

If you view relationships a necessity as important as breathing because you’re with someone you simply couldn't be without; or you view that whole emotion as just an equation of lust+jealousy= love and see dating as just a really expensive way to slowly watch someone like you less and less. So you prefer to be alone and free, good for you.

If you've worked really hard and made strides to advance in society and become self-sufficient and stable; or you've not had to worry about these things and you are able to sleep till 10 and you’re main goal has been Netflix marathons and levelling up in your video game, good for you.

You get the point; my New Year’s wish for all of you is simply to have a fire within your belly that burns every single moment and can’t be put out, regardless of any dark clouds that may pour on it. I hope the future year is a time to face and conquer your fears, learn lessons through pain, and always make memories that will never fade away.  Never lose your wild heart and listen to it above all else.
