I want to use this medium to make a few promises to myself.
The first, and arguably the most important, is to get * ** ***. Last year was my year of rest and relaxation, but we are ready for and deserving of new things. The second promise to myself is to complete some form of exercise everyday. This will usually mean going to the gym, but it can also mean going for a nice walk. The third thing I want to promise to myself is that I will no longer indulge in Fast Food. This is a big one for me so I might specify it so it does not feel like such a mountain. This year I will challenge myself to not eat KFC or McDonald’s. Rather than eating that kind of food, eat some fruit or walk and admire surroundings. This year I will really prioritise my health because, as I mentioned, last year was my year of rest and relaxation or my year of stroking, but this year I’m busting on all yall.
Last year was also my year of reading, but I will extend that to this year too because just spending a short time reading I felt my brain getting bigger.
And so, I want to focus on fulfilling my duty as a daughter and older sister and cousin out of loyalty to my family. This feeling is definitely something to consider and remember when I am feeling weak or unsure. During this time I need to trust in how beautiful my intentions are, and I need to trust that it will lead me somewhere special. Hopefully this time next year when I look back introspectively, I can be sure that I spent my time constantly striving to better myself and improve my situation.
I am excited for the places you’ll go. And remember that, in the famous words of Henry Cavill, apart from life and death matters, nothing is as serious as it first seems. This is the year of like… realising stuff.
