New Years Resolutions? Nah | Month in Pictures December 2013

"How fast has this year gone?"

"January already?"

"This year is going to be my year." 

The first day of 2014, and all of us have heard these questions possibly over ten times in the past twenty-four hours. Myself, I'm undecided about whether time is going faster or whether I'm just oversleeping too often. Whilst I try to figure out what kind of message the universe is trying to send me, it has come to my attention that this year is going to be pretty huge. I'm turning eighteen, starting university and growing into my big girl shoes. All of this reflecting and setting new years resolutions has gotten me into the thinking game, and I've decided that for once I'm not going to set myself a resolution, because with such a busy year ahead of me I wouldn't know where to start. It got me thinking, do we ever follow these rules that we set ourselves on the 1st January every year? If I decide I want to become prima ballerina in August, that will be my goal; if I dedicate myself to finding my Buddhist pathway by April or become a body-builder in September, I won't be thinking too hard about the 'stop eating chocolate' rule that I almost applied this month. Are our vows to get toned abs, stop swearing and become fluent in eight new languages all just excuses to compensate for what we've been lacking in the past twelve months? For me, the answer is yes, which is why my only resolution this year is to be the best 2014 version of myself that I can be, because well, there are only so many years of 'thou shalt not over-spend' that I can take. 

Hope you had a wonderful New Year,

Love From Storm x
