On one night, of one day each year, we dedicate our midnights to changing our lifestyles, our eating habits, wardrobes, hair colors, and any other bad habits.

We give 365 days of our lives to one night and claim that at midnight, from that point on, everything will change.

Or at least we hope it will.

If only it were that magical, and if only new years resolutions were wishes we could give to a fairy godmother to make come true.

The sad thing is most of our resolutions end up being about other people and not about ourselves.

We dye our hair, change our wardrobes, and get a makeover to often times either get over someone or make a statement.

We workout, and change our diets, to look better and feel better, but also IF we're honest its more so we look better in our Instagram photos, get ready for summer, and maybe even in hoping we'll impress someone.

We tell ourselves we're not going to care about what people think and be true to ourselves, which often times means, "I'm not going to use a filter, say whatever I want, and not care who I offend."

We make lists of things we hope for and long for, hoping for something, to go somewhere, to do something.

It's all great and so extravagant, and there's nothing wrong with a little touch-up, a fun new look, being healthy and wishing for exciting new things, we all want to be true to ourselves and be honest, but don't give your one midnight of the year all of these hopes and dreams.

Give it all your midnights.

You want to be healthy? Dedicate all your midnights to slowly changing food habits, and exercise routines, because it takes time, and if you give it time you will see results.

You want a new look? Get that touch-up, change your hairstyle, but know that as cliche and cheesy as it may sound, dedicate your midnights by working on who you are on the inside you won't have to prove a point to anyone by hurting others around you or in trying so hard to mask the things you want to forget about, but you'll genuinely feel happier about yourself.

Change takes time, and you can give yourself 365 midnights to do that.

Make it genuine, not just a list of wishes that you hope will somehow complete itself.

You don't need to prove something or cover anything up, real change isn't as glamorous as popping a bottle of champagne, it's complicated, difficult, but good things require hard work.

Pray for your year, each year, and each day, and not just one midnight, but 365 midnights to be exact.

Happy Near Year, Happy New You.

Here's to ALL of our midnights.
