Out with the old, in with the new

As 2019 comes in, it's time to begin thinking about what we can do as individuals to become better. Some make resolutions, others make restitutions, and some just want to get better.

Well, from my 18 years on this planet, I'll be sharing my top 5 hopes and aspirations for the upcoming year.

1. Never Give Up

This is pretty straightforward. If you want something bad, chances are you'll do anything to get there. So never stop dreaming, never stop doing, and remember that dreaming is the first step and doing is the next.

2. Try New Things

Want to write? Want to draw? Want to create? Well, this year is perfect for you! If you still haven't gotten to the dreaming stage of your plan, maybe it's because you haven't explored enough yet! So what are you waiting for? Go out there!

3. STOP STRESSING

This one I myself have trouble with. Sometimes, you won't meet your expectations. You might not even meet other's expectations in life. But that's ok. Take a breather-relax...and when you're ready, check #1.

4. Treat Yourself

Yes, yes. The Chinese zodiac of 2019 is... The Pig! So treat yourself like a pig... (Just don't take it too far). Want to watch a movie with your pals? Want to eat that tub of ice cream just sitting there in the fridge that you never finished after Thanksgiving? (Totally specific example, I know). Do it! *Disclaimer, I am not promoting excessive eating everything in moderation please*

5. Be yourself

This one might be a little weird and it might be difficult. Who are you really? Now, before I give y'all a existential crisis, just know that I truly want you to not try to fit into any group because you think you are "inferior" to them. No, that's just the worst thing that you can do to yourself. Be true to yourself. Trust me, you'll love yourself more.

Alright. Here are some of my hopes for 2019!

Remember, you can take some of mine, or check out at the end of 2019 to see how I did(?)

Cheers!
