New Year, Christmas... It's all over but the resolutions are just beginning

Posted by
 
2014. Once again. Another year has finished and we're back to the start again of a new one. 363 days from now we'll be doing the countdown once again for 2015. Seems pointless to some people. It seems pointless to some to say "New Year, New Me". Honestly, most people won't change. I suppose you have to make the effort right? I believe that no one can just completely change their personality. You are who you are full stop. Maybe there are just small tweaks people make which as a whole, makes someone different.

Over 2013 I really changed as a person. *Breaks out into song* "WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER, STAND A LITTLE taller, Doesn't mean I'm la da da da da da da..."

Moving on... in the last few months of 2013 I noticed that I had quite an uptight personality. I would always need to have things done to my convenience and I would debate with others until things were the way I wanted them to be. When people misplaced things in my bedroom, I would become extremely upset. Around November-ish, I decided to become more laid back. When making plans with my friends, I started to compromise more. I've started to see that my life is much easier already however, I haven't completely let go. I still need to become more loose in many aspects of my life.

That's why I've decided that for my new year's resolution I'm going to work on being more laid back.


The day before New Year's Eve I went ice-skating for the first time with my friends. Despite being 14 years old and living in London, I've never been before so understandably, I was really excited but somehow didn't want to go either. I was too afraid to embarrass myself. Nevertheless, I still went. Of course my experience started off with me clinging for my life onto the side of the rink. Eventually (although it took me long) I managed to take one hand off the side. Of course when you go ice-skating, many people decide that they feel like just standing on the side having a conversation with their "besties" which means that at times you have to make a decision. Should I wait for them to finish their conversation or should I "skate" around them. Obviously this is a very frustrating situation but I'm glad that happened because it meant that I was forced to let go of the side and hold on to my friends, something I would never have had the courage to do without those people's lack of consideration. Haha. By the end, I managed to "ice-skate" halfway around the rink without any of my hands holding onto the side. You may be wondering why I keep writing the word 'skating' in quotation marks. Let's just say that I wasn't so much skating as I was being dragged along by my friends.
 
After that hour on the rink I decided that my second resolution would be to improve my ice-skating skills.


Good luck with accomplishing your own resolutions.

Happy New Year!
