Dear 2016,
Deciding on a New Years Resolution was always a chore, actually a list of chores. This year I will get smarter, be fitter, run faster, run further, wear less makeup, find a boyfriend, become a millionaire. A list of unattainable chores that inevitably lead to a December 31st full of guilt. It only took me 18 of them to realise that I don't have to do that to be happy. 365/6 days to do whatever the hell I want sounds pretty fucking fantastic. 18 lists of crappy resolutions (well, actually I started when I was 11 so only 7 lists) and I've finally made one I'm proud of.
*Not my New Years Resolutions* by Emma G. In 2016, I will wear whatever the hell I want because deep down, nobody actually cares what you're wearing. I will do things that make me cringe, take a deep breath in and an uncomfortable one out because a life without that is sub par. Sub par things will happen but that's because I'm an adult now. But I will make sure that they are few and far between. I will attain less shit, because that's what I is, SHIT! And use my pay checks for petrol money, plane tickets and expensive coffee because I want too. Maybe I'll meet a nice guy and I won't be able to stop talking about him, or maybe I won't. But I'll be happy either way because growing up is all about liking your own company. I'll try to write the memorable things down but will probably forget - but that's okay because I'll be living in the moment. I'll continue to sleep through my 5.30am spin class because I found a TV series to binge watch on Netflix the night before. I promise that I'll make more of an effort not to be 10 minutes late to every meeting. I'll make sure I tell my friends how much they mean to me (and how much I love them) because they deserve to know. There will be probably be a few evenings where friends and I share a bottle of wine (or two), laugh too hard, gossip too much and stay up too late. I'll start a list of every book I read this year and strive to beat it next year. I promise that I will be kinder, dream bigger, create wonderful things and not spend a single second doing something that doesn't make me indisputably and irrevocably happy.
How about you?!
- Much Love xx
