2015 Resolutions

35 minutes into 2015 and I cannot be more glad that I welcomed the new year with my loved ones. 😊

As with each new year, I always come up with a list of resolutions, some of which I eventually never keep to but it still helps that I have something to help stay motivated.

Every year, I more or less wish resolve for the same few things and I don't think it's gonna be any different for 2015. Only difference is I now truly know what I want and how to get it.

1. Be more grateful. This is my first step to leading a better life and ever since I began practicing gratitude 23 days ago, I've witnessed its magic. In 2015, I'm going to be as grateful as I can regardless of the circumstances because there's always something to be grateful for even in the worst of times.

2. Be happy. I was mostly happy in 2014. I learnt not to give a f*ck about what others said because I decided no one shall dictate how I should live my life. 2015 is going to be any even happier year for me and I know it. 😊

3. Be ambitious. I don't remember how many times I've backed down because I was too afraid of failing or just too scared of change. But I've to grow out of it. I've to learn to take risks for the sake of bettering myself or to satiate my curiosity. If anything, it's now or never really.

4. Be greedy. And I don't mean for food but for the good things out there - health, wealth, happiness - because good things attract more good things. It's not wrong to want something. It is my right (and your right too) to want something regardless of what it is and how much of it you want no matter what others say. So I'm gonna be greedy for all the good things in life, yes!

I meant to upload this post on the first day of 2015 but I'm uploading it on the first day of internship instead. Both of which, though, marked new beginnings so it's all good!

I was told I wouldn't have very much to do this week, which explains my freedom right now but I'm hyped for things to happen and to get involved. 😊

In the meantime, have a great week ahead everyone!

I remember

It's Sunday night all over again. I can hear slight drizzle against the window panes and I'm watching the lights on the other building go out. People must be heading to bed and I wonder: Do they dread waking up to Monday? Do they hate Monday? Do their bodies feel unusually heavy on Monday mornings? Do they drag their feet into office? It was a surprisingly tough day today. But it reminded me of the conversations I had with Ains. " You're really too nice. That's why people always bully you, " she said. I knew this for a long time but I was thinking of the best way to construe my personality without sounding like a pushover because I'm not. I simply developed a sizable threshold for bullshit over the years. I suppose it is my way of maintaining zen and a passive way to show I'm backing down because I believe there's no reason putting up a fight against anyone who has decided not to give me a real chance even before the argument began. To some, when I...

You learn to live with your crazy

I'm crazy, just slightly  crazy. I'm crazy but maybe I'm not crazy after all? I say the most bizarre things. I walk around with messy hair. I dress down on Mondays and dress up on Fridays. I talk shit with and to my friends. I stuff my face into Shelty’s belly every night. I have a weird obsession with stickers and clouds.  I love walking around bare-footed. I love wearing my pyjamas. I love long walks, especially the ones that could last for hours. I love rolling in bed on Saturday nights while every one else is out.  I’m strange like that. Which makes me feel like a misfit in this society that’s all about fitting in. I don’t depend on technology even though I use an iPhone 6: I keep a handwritten diary, I write letters, I record my daily expenditure, I take notes with a pen and paper, I print my readings if possible, I use highlighters and liquid paper, and the list could go on. Yet I depend on technology at the same time: I scroll through Instagram every mo...

2021

Hello, 2022. Traditionally, this post would have been published on the last day of the year (as a reflection of some sorts) or the first day of the new year (to set out some new goals). But I had spent the last 2 days surrounded by good people and would not have it any other day. But here we are – second day into the new year and back to work when Monday comes around again. Sometimes, it feels like a lot has changed yet nothing has really changed at all.  All things considered, 2021 was not the best year but it was a good year. I felt like I had truly stepped into the world of adulting. This came in the form of looking after my family, including doggo, navigating the corporate world, and getting my act together for the most part. Summing up 2021:  Full-time adult, part-time child There is so much subliminal messaging out there that tells us we have to be at a certain point in our life by the time we reach a certain age. And growing up in a society constantly reminded me I...
