2015 was incredibly bumpy, incredibly emotional
and incredibly unforgettable at the same time. I potentially say that every year, however, with this blog and my vlogs… THIS year is definitely
unforgettable since it is so simple to just repeat replay history. It was filled with a lot of great adventures, new experiences
and many WTF am I doing moments.
Ending this school term alive, hence the 4
months of being MIA, I could not be anymore happier with how things turned out.
Yet, at the same time very sad with how fast time traveled.
At the moment, I am very much still learning,
still improving and still understanding myself. Though does that process really
ever end? So for a lack of better words, maybe I should have just said that I
am still on a pursuit of … contentment. Of course, happiness is a state of mind
where one chooses to be optimistic and happy. Thus, contentment (although
technically a synonym) is what I want to use to portray a bundle of satisfactory level of physical health and mental health, and balanced relationship with friends, family and school. So I guess I personally think that contentment can be measured and happiness can not be.
This time, when I say that I am excited for
2016, I actually mean it. I know it’s bad to consider a fresh start once the
New Year hits but realistically who doesn’t like to drag old familiar behaviour
longer until absolutely required to change. It’s the act of human adaptation at its finest right? AND who wouldn’t want fireworks, bright
lights or a screaming batch of people saying “happy new year” to solidify
a new beginning? It’s much more encouraging that way from my own understanding. So I hope your 2016 will be everything you hoped for, aimed for and worked for.
Remember, do better; but, definitely try not to compare
yourself to others. Look back, admire how different you are now than the past,
and simply improve. Eliminate the bugs and make changes. Develop -insert your name here- 2.0 .. or should I really say John Smith 2.016
To the future self: keep trying whatever your
mind gears you towards, keep doing what your heart says, and eating whatever the
hell your stomach desires. Here’s to more challenges yet to come, to numerous
foreseen trials and errors on figuring out what you can do or want to do in the
near future, to healthier food choices, extra sit-ups and better eye cream. & as always, h 2 o is the way to go, so stay hydrated homies!
Here's to
h a p p y NEW y e a r!
Until next time,
Becca
