With January officially kicked off, the
holiday season appears to be over and I find that an extremely unfortunate
event. Therefore, let's keep the sparkle, the coziness, the flickering lights,
the holiday cheer alive for just a little while longer. January is such a
depressing month, so I refuse to take down my Christmas tree for now. I'm even
contemplating about leaving some of the lights that I hung around my apartment up
until these dark days (literally speaking) are over, because they make me so very (and weirdly) happy. I am the absolute personification of the
paradoxical Grinch. That reminds me of something I saw on TV the other day,
about 'normal' people who are completely obsessed with Christmas, leading to a
house filled up to the roof with Christmas trees (yes, plural) and decorations.
However, that's taking it a bit too far in my opinion, I would feel weird as a
child of summer to still think about Christmas. Speaking of summer, can we just
skip to that point already? :)
January is always and for most also a time
of change and for me, it's mostly about trying to better myself. In hindsight,
2015 was not entirely my year, despite going in the desired direction careerwise and a
lot of exciting and fun things happening along the road. Unfortunately, big disappointments at the end of the year kind
of left a weird taste in my mouth. Either way, I can't wait for what 2016 will
bring: the challenges, the laughter, the people, and all the new things I'll
do. I even started a bucket list to structure those new things a bit more
(control freak alert) and I won't be satisfied until every one of them is
checked off by the end of 2016.
2016,
let’s do this and let’s not ever doubt ourselves!
