I Won't Change Who I Am Just Because It's A New Year

I'm the same person as I was in 2018, and that's okay.

I Won't Change Who I Am Just Because It's A New Year

Do you have any New Years resolutions? Have you had any resolutions that have worked? Have you had any that have failed and if so, was there a lesson that you learned from it?

So, it's a new year which is great because we can leave the drama and garbage that we experienced last year behind us. This is the first year that I have heard the phrase "new year: new you" so many times that I don't know if I believe it. The new year is always a great time to start something new.

How many of us start something new but don't follow through with it? I don't have any outrageous goals or resolutions. That's why I came up with the phrase "new year: old me" because I am the same person going into this new year. The only thing that might change is my goals, and my address. I hope to try new things this year that I haven't experienced before but I am the same person I was last year. This year I am not making a resolution because in the end we all know it will it will go the same way it goes for other people. It will fail because they put so much effort in it that they slip. That's the problem with resolutions we get so excited about them but then in a few months we slip up and fail at what our resolution was. Instead, of resolution I am thinking about realistic goals that I can have for life. For my goals they will take longer that a year, which is great. Resolutions are usually only for a year anyway, because we think of a new resolution the next year or we just try the same one until we succeed.

Make goals and succeed the best you can at them and know that yes, you will fail, but there is always a way to succeed.

Be your old self, but in a new year.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
