Happy new year. Once this time of year comes along people start dieting, start clearing out their closet, start living how they *want* to live, stop putting everything off. Everything is new and fresh and wonderful and you can do anything you want, be anything you want to be and it's great.
If you are one of those people where everything is the same, nothing is shiny and new, and it's hard enough to just do what you're doing without starting something new, then those people who have a new shiny outlook on life start to piss you off. A lot. It also starts to make you feel like you've failed because you haven't had some sort of awakening that has left you with a new outlook on life.
But that's bullshit. Make sure you remember that. Because you will try to stretch yourself to other peoples' ideals, you will believe that things really are wonderful and you're just not seeing it, you will try and pry yourself free of your comforts in an effort to be like those people who seem so happy. But don't be convinced to let go too soon. Just because you want to be where those people are, it doesn't mean you're ready to be. And that's OK. Some people can dive into the deep end right away, and some people need to work their way from the shallow end. But either way is fine, as long as you keep yourself from drowning.
