It's never too late to repost old blogposts from when you were 18 years old. What on earth could go wrong?!
Gosh and just like that 2013 was gone.
In a flurry of sweaty men and ducking of midnight kisses- I was catapulted into what will be (I hope) an interesting and fabulous year that is 2014 (Or 2k14 to its friends).
For me, 2014 is very much a year of giving. I haven’t made any resolutions, as I never keep them and often forget them by about March. So I decided this year I would not keep up any pretences. 2014 is a year for being “Better”. All in all, a better person, better fitness, better looking… whatever I feel needs to be better I am going to try my utmost to ‘better it’. This all sounds very naive and a tad fluffy and unrealistic. Which I have to admit in many ways it is. YET I feel if I start the year with one of these philosophical statements, some of the good intentions will trickle through to real life. And if all goes as I plan, this blog can hold testament to whether I keep a few, if any, of these good intentions.
Personally, 2013 held the key to unlocking the final piece of being happy in myself. I no longer need the same amount of gratification that perhaps I once did. Especially given my generation and age group, I feel quite lucky that I now know who I am and that I will always change so I might as well be myself and have my own views rather than bowing to others’ (often unhelpful) expectations. Travel, happiness, music, friends, food, family, love, exploration- these are all very much what I hope 2014, and life in general will continue to provide for me. I think taking the positives from life are often all that we can do. So Happy New Year Internet! The World! and whoever else has seen a New Year arise! And bring on 2014!
