It's a new year my dudes! I hope the beginning of this year has been kind to you so far.
Any plans for this year? Can be specific or a general idea.
I'm not sure if there's something similar in Japanese but in English, we have a saying that a lot of people have use when asked about their new year's resolution. "New year, new me". I'm not sure if many people still use it but I used to hear it often when I was younger. It basically just means "I am going to start this year off with a clean slate, I am a new person" and I remember I used to use that saying too.
However, during December, I was thinking about a new year's resolution. I thought of "new year, new me" but it didn't feel right to me. I wanted a saying for myself to reflect taking past experiences and using them as lessons for future growth rather than starting with a "clean slate". So I thought of the phrase "new year, better me". I'm probably not the first person to have thought of it but nevertheless, it feels better than "new me", in my opinion.
I'd like to think of this new year as a year of personal growth, in all aspects. Mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I will work on being kinder to myself and to let myself take breaks when I need to instead of pushing myself to eventual burnout. To fall in love with life and live a happier and truer life to me. I feel that this year will be a good year for me, and hopefully for everyone else too :)
I wish everyone a lovely night!
And remember, sometimes, life doesn't give you lemons, it gives you kiwis... So let's make a parfait together~
