Good Bye 2016. Hullo 2017

The year went by in a jiffy.. Didn't it ?

We made decisions, found new people, lost some old ones and now are looking forward for 2017.

So do u regret how the year went ? Or you are pretty much happy with how things enfolded ?

While your answers might wary, there is one thing I am so sure we all did.. Consciously or unconsciously. And that is Self pity.

Sounds clichéd.. Like another one of those rants about self love ? Well no. This time lets keep it moderate.

Well you cant always stay strong. Fuck. Because there is that stupid heart of yours who doesn't listen when you tell it not to get attached. So well something happens and you screw up. Big time. We all do. At some point or the other. No big deal.

But it does become a big deal because you, my dear, choose the easier way out. Instead of taking a responsibility of whatever happened; you start seeking reasons and explanations so as to why you are not to blame. And while that is gratifying in short term.. In the long term it makes you addicted. Addicted to sympathy. And that is much like ruining your life with your own beautiful hands.

I write about happiness but not now because this time its different. This time its the end of the year. The one time when you have to learn from whatever good and bad happened and let go of the grudges. So its important to learn the right things from 2016.

Would you take a resolution with me.. To not dwell in self- pity anymore and stand upto every good and bad decision you ever make ?

This one resolution that you promise, not to break.

Because its your story.. and however much glorious or inglorious the event is, own up to it.. and stop looking for public approvals. You don't need people to tell you what you did was fine or not. You have to stop caring about how people perceive you before an event and after an event.

Cause this is your life an you have to make it big.

Wish you a very very Happy New Year. ♥
