New Year, New Me?

Every year I say that. "This year is going to be different." "This year is going to be the year that I change my life." Really though, that never happens. I always say I'm going to become more fashionable, or go out with my friends more or be more confident. I choose a person every year that I decide I will be more like and I use them as a template for myself, forgetting about the previous year's failed attempts at this "new me".

So again this year, I have chosen the person I am going to base myself on. They're not very pretty, they have an incredibly irritating personality, and they sit on their own at parties, fully sober, playing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" by blowing over the top of other people's bottles, having a whale of a time. They think a late night is staying up past ten o clock and get stressed over the tiniest things in life. They also hate how chliché this has become. This year, I am basing myself on me. 

I can choose parts of my personality I want to tweak, and things I can do to make myself even happier, but I just want to be me. Who cares if other people don't like it when I spontaniously burst into song? They wouldn't know fun if it hit them in the face. I'm going to just embrace it. 

I did say I was going to be happier this year and not get upset as easily, but twenty hours in, I was in tears over the last Miranda episode. Let's not dwell. 

So, dear reader, if there are any of you out there, I urge you to grab 2015 by the horns and turn into an even better version of you. Do that thing you've always wanted to do. Do something that scares you every day. Be confident that you are the best person you can be. Be happy. And love life. 

Well that got deep and cliché very quickly. 

Happy New Year!
