I'm going to admit something - I've never ever been 'into' New Year. To me, it has always just seemed like another day, nothing to get excited about, and definitely not a reason to change anything I've been doing for the past twenty-one years.
After this year, I've promised myself to make 2014 one of the happiest of my life so far. Yes, many people say this at the beginning of the year, but after everything that's happened this year, I want to see it through and ensure that not only me, but the people around me, are as happy as they can be.
I'm not going to beat around the bush here, 2013 was a year of ups and downs for me. I'm not going to go into how and why, but some of it was unpleasant to say the least. That's not to say there weren't plenty of good things to come out of 2013 though - I saw my eldest brother get married and gained a sister-in-law in the process, I went to Edinburgh with Matt and we moved into our first flat together. We've made it our own, and I absolutely adore sharing a place with someone that I love.
So, in order to make this year the best yet, I'm planning on treating each day as if it's another page in a book of 2014 chapters. I don't want to spend a day doing nothing, and I want to make sure that every single day serves a purpose. I know, it's going to be difficult (we all have those days where we just can't be bothered and want to stay in bed eating biscuits and watching Homeland all day), but I want to make it happen. I don't want it to get to this time in 365 days and for me to feel like I haven't accomplished anything - that would be the worst feeling in the world.
I'm currently writing a list of things I want to accomplish this year and as it's growing, I'm getting more determined to complete everything.
What are your New Years' resolutions? Let me know - I might add them to my list!
