New Year's Eve - why put off what can be done tomorrow when you can do it January 1st?
I don't judge anyone for making New Year's resolutions. I get the reasoning behind it. It feels like a fresh start, like someone hit the restart button. But in reality, nothing's changed beyond the number on our calendar and the number of years we've been on this earth.
If we're not careful we can get so stuck in this mentality of having to do this, and then no wonder by the time June rolls around we've given up long ago and all forgotten what we even committed to do.
And not only that, I personally find it way too overwhelming to think about doing something for an entire year when I can barely get through one day most of the time.
Man makes plans, and God laughs at them.
The only thing I "plan" to do this next year is be more adventurous. See places I've never seen. Maybe even try to tackle a semester of college since I've been a high school graduate since 2014.
This year I went on a trip with a friend to Indiana. It was definitely out of my comfort zone. But if I hadn't gone, I would have regretted it for a very long time. It was one of the very few times I didn't let the fear of the unknown prevent me from going on what was the best weekend of my life. It was incredibly life-changing.
I could definitely go for a few more of those...
