I’ve been so optimistic since the new year started and i hope i’m able to maintain it throughout the year. Usually i’m pessimistic about the new year but i hide it well. i don’t voice out my disdain and instead shield it under the guise of it’s just another day or who even cares, it doesn’t make a difference. 

Well the difference is I care now. I know this year marks a lot of turning points in my life and even though everything is overwhelming, i remind myself that i’m still so young and so many great things are still going to happen for me. 

i haven’t met all the people i need to meet yet, i haven’t done all the things i need to do yet. Which is why this year in taking bold steps because i know that at the end of the day, people who fail to achieve their goals don’t end up resenting themselves but rather the people around them. And i don’t want to grow up into the kind of person that kills the joy in others because my misery loves company. So I’m taking it one step at a time. I’m afraid but I’m making peace with the fact that i have to start somewhere and i have to start now. 

I hope this encourages you to do something today. Anything you want to do.
