Every year, we make our NY resolutions. However, usually when March rolls around, we start to lose sight of it and fall back into our old ways.
We all do it, it is inevitable.
But there's one New Years resolution that I think the female community, as a whole, has got to start doing. We have got to start doing whatever the hell we want to, and stop relying on other people.
I've heard so many girls say, "yeah I really want to do this but so and so won't like it..." or "yeah I don't know if I'm going to go out tonight because so and so wants me to stay in".
Here is what I say to that.
WHO CARES?
As women, we have to raise a little more hell and make more of a mark on this world. We have to go out with the attitude that we are going to change the world in amazing ways, and that all starts with doing exactly what YOU want to do. There is a time and a place for having a man in your life that somewhat has a say in what you do, and that is when you are married. So until then, we should be doing exactly what we want to do. We should be saying exactly what we want to say.
Stop waiting for that guy who hasn't texted you back for a week to text you. Go out, go meet someone new. Stop waiting. Go live your life. Stop waiting for your ongoing relationship that has been dragged out for forever to end. End it. Stop waiting for approval from everyone else and start doing what you want.
It's about damn time.
This isn't to say that you aren't allowed to be in a relationship, or you're not allowed to fall madly in love. All I'm saying is that we have to focus on what we want. If you want love, great. Go for it. But don't be in an unhappy relationship wishing that you could go out, but being stuck at home instead. Get your girl gang together and go out.
This is the year that we should look back on with happiness and know that we've done exactly what we set out to do. While we should have our sights set on important things like our careers and education, we should also have our sights set on having a good time. Life should never be taken too seriously.
This is the year to be rebellious and free and to live our young years to the fullest. We won't be this free forever, and whether you realize it or not, you are the freest at this moment that you are ever going to be in your life.
