With New Year’s bells ringing around the corner, the end of another chapter of our lives has finally ensued. It is, without a doubt, a joyous occasion for the entire world, with people finding yet another reason to throw and attend parties, spend time with their loved ones, and have the time of their lives. During all of these celebrations, we often become nostalgic about the moments, relationships, opportunities, and everything else that we experienced throughout the year, but it is important to remember that we also have another opportunity to remould ourselves for the better.
The New Year not only marks the start of a new chapter but also the end of the previous year. And endings often involve reminiscing about the past. So, relive the happiest moments, contemplate past mistakes, and acknowledge new relationships. Positive memories will make us smile, while negative ones will serve as a foundation for planning our next year.
Moreover, when we talk about the new year, it often prompts us to think back on our childhood — the time when making new year’s resolutions was such a cakewalk. It was then that beginning with a new hobby, waking up early, adopting a healthy diet, or doing things along those lines became new year’s resolutions. Today, formulating appropriate new year resolutions on the basis of past misapprehensions seems nothing less than rocket science. While most people may overlook the significance of such customs in their later years, I believe it provides us with an opportunity to write our own destiny. We devise strategies to change aspects of our lives that are bothering us or may bother us in the future. To ensure the fulfilment of such resolutions, it is critical to reflect on our ability to achieve them and, as a result, set realistic ones.
I would now like to share my memories of the year 2022 and the strategies I plan to adopt in the next.
The year 2022 marked the beginning of many new chapters in my life journey. The most memorable was the start of my college life. It was a complete package of unforgettable lessons, lovely friendships, new experiences, and so much more. I was able to recognize several positive changes in my personality, such as increased confidence, a systematic way of working efficiently, and other productive habits. I made some priceless memories and formed lifelong friendships. I could also see some people and things missing from my journey, but everything added to my stock of wisdom.
With that, I intend to improve my skill set over the next year in order to be prepared for future opportunities. To stay healthy, I intend to establish a fitness regimen for myself. In addition, I intend to devote more time to my hobbies.
New Year holds different meanings and means of celebration for different people. I hope my narration prompts you to narrate your own. Looking forward to reading them!
I wish everyone a Happy New Year with this beautiful piece of poetry by Anonymous that I came across:
Keep the smiles,
Walk past the tears,
Forget your worries,
And look forward to the coming year,
A very Happy New Year To You!
