Just another end of year blog post...

It's finally here, 31st December, 2016.

I feel like things are going to go one of two ways, either the entire world is going to explode at midnight because 2016 was just too much for everyone, or once midnight hits everything is magically going to get absolutely amazing. 

I'd like to believe everything is about to get fucking amazing!

I don't usually like to make New Years resolutions, but I will say I do have some goals, if you will, for this year and I absolutely intend to stick to them, if you needed a bit of inspiration or you're actually interested in what I've got up my sleeve then please read, if not, skip to the next paragraph... 

1.  Get my organized & disciplined self back (has anyone seen her, she's been missing for ages).
2.  Actually clear my credit card debt (yas people, I'm still in the process, don't get sucked into the BS).
3.  Save.
4.  Live more.
5.  Spend more time with everyone!
6.  Stop hating my job so much (haha). 
7.  Try very hard, and I mean this is the hardest, to not swear as much as I do (this post is not included, I will be getting as many swears as possible in here).

I know and have personally felt the overwhelming amount of shittiness 2016 has offered all of us and unfortunately no, this is not a case of me being able to say the goodness outweighed the bad, I mean David Bowie passed away, how do you recover from that? You just don't that's the simple answer, rest in peace you absolute legend. However I have learnt one life skill this year and it has been stretched as far as it could be stretched so I know I can apply this to any situation now, 2016 has taught me the art of acceptance. 

So for 2017 I want to be happy, I have my plan and any shit I have to accept in that process, well fine, fuck it I will, I don't wish to allow unsolicited crap to stand in the way of my goals this year, my happiness is too valuable to me, I know that sounds ignorant but if I am not happy, I am not helpful and if I am not helpful then what the fuck am I doing here? If there is one thing the human race needs, it's to be more helpful, I'm telling you we could fix so many problems if we found enough love for ourselves that we could start being helpful to others.

I have turned into a very hostile person this year (I think a lot of us do have our guards up), I have allowed others to drag me down to their level and although I am not better than anyone, I am better than the person I am right now and I really need to remember that for 2017. I don't want to be preachy, I wish to be inspiring, I don't want to be angry, I wish to be passionate, I don't want to be anxious, I wish to feel stable, I don't want to be back at square one, I wish to win the game all those negatives need to turn into positives so that I can. I know there will be challenges and I am ready for them, because, I and you and everyone else for that matter deserve better than this but I, you and everyone else are responsible for our own happiness and our own futures, if the world is against us we need to be our own cheerleaders and team-mates and make things happen regardless. I don't want to be held back by the world, I want to excel through my hardships!

 

So on that note...

Bring it on 2017, I am SO ready, bring me all your greatness, bring me all your love, bring me all your kindness, bring me all the goodness and I will be great, loving, kind and good, I will match every positive you give me and I will rise above every negative with grace and elegance (well as much elegance as one can have in a flannel shirt, jeans and trainers). 

I hope you all have an amazing, safe (grandma Lizanne's popped in) New Years Eve and most importantly I hope you build the most amazing 2017 for yourselves, big, massive love, and for my favourite line of NYE, see you next year (haha)!
