I don’t
get some people would feel the need to change over the span of a day. My
feeling is mutual to that of having a New Year’s Resolution. Mark Twain once said, "New Year's Day: now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual . . . New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls, and humbug resolutions."
Out of
simple curiosity, why do I need to mindset these belief during a New Year? Why
New Year? And when they mean ‘New Me’,
does that mean that I have to alter myself to be someone who is someone I was
the year before? I beg to disagree for I find it to be such an appalling notion.
But I
suppose I could do with change. In verbatim it would mean as a process to
become something different. Change for the better they say. But this process
would take time and most importantly the need to start it slowly, focusing on
small things first then surely attaining your desired change.
Change
for me would start with my performance in school. I often procrastinate so I
would find myself in trouble by the end of the grading period. I’d work on
improving my sense of meeting deadlines and hopefully I’d be able to pass my
requirements on time this time. Another one is about spending more time with my
friends. I admit, I am quite socially awkward, I rather spend my time reading a
book and listening to music than shopping. But as it is already close to, as
we call it, major break up, I’d do anything just to spend more time with them.
I don’t
adapt well with major changes. I am really contented with who I am, what I do,
and what I have right now so for me, one thing is for sure. I will change at my
own pace and change for myself and myself only.
