Welcome to 2017 guys! This is my first blog post for the year!! Whoot! I hope everyone has had an awesome New year’s however way you celebrated it. Personally, I had a nice dinner at our neighbors and went to bed at 12:30 am cause I am personally not a fan of going wild on New years. I do use the new year to start fresh and make goals for the year. This year I would like to share some of those goals with you guys and the carry-ons that will be with it. I have a lot of exciting things happening this year which, I can’t wait to share you as time goes on!

This year it’s going to be about ME. Focusing on me more than ever before. It’s a hard goal for me and I will have to find the endurance and the patience for it. I will be trying new things this year and I will be taking care of my well-being more than ever. I will be taking care of my physical, mental and emotional self through the help of myself and my diverse methods. I know these kind of changes take time to be seen as they are not as reactive when another person is involved. Self-care or anything self, takes time to show.

It’s already day 4 of January and I have already thought of giving in and being the usual self of how I am which has worked for me for years (20 years to be exact). However, I have been close to relapsing and realized that I am not healthy in the way I should be. After all we are humans, we are never perfect, but that’s always ok.  So right now I realized that in order to achieve this goal alongside my mini goals, I have to be very patient with myself and allow myself to fall but to remember always to get back up fast and continue running.

I have been doing the cycle of being tempted to fall back to my old ways and just give in to this goal but then I remember to take it a day at a time, realize that I have to be compassionate to myself more than ever, and analyze. I will be trying to take my own advice this year that I have given people over the years.

I want to be happy. I want to be strong. I want to put myself first. I want to build healthy relationships with more people and existing friends. I want to communicate more. I want to discover and try new things to add onto my experiences. I want to work harder at my academics. I want to understand myself. I want to love myself. I want to respect myself. I want to believe in myself because at the end of the day, I have me and no one else. I want to be brutally honest with myself and others. I want to defy society’s way of running things. Smartly and truly of course.

It’s time for me to be the best version I can be of myself. It’s time for me to be open about my intentions and thoughts to the world so that I can live in peace and harmony. I know I cannot control people’s actions but when I am capable of controlling mine and letting it go out in the open, I am being truly honest. And that for me is enough. However, knowing that not everything goes to plan or you can’t control everything in life is just as important to remember.
