Salam and hey guys!
Hope it's not too late to make a welcome post on refreshing 2018!
It's refreshing because I think it's been quite a ride on 2017 globally; the Trump issues (he's made A LOT), Jerusalem and Al-Quds Masjid, and to go particular in Malaysia people have been so anxious about incoming General Election which could come in anytime by now (a gently reminder for you guys to register as voter if you haven't!). Then some gossips on certain celebrities, news on death of SHInee Jonghyun and the issue came after within Muslims. In general, I can say that maybe to some people 2017 has been bad for them.
So hence the refreshing 2018! People have many expectations on incoming days and months, new year marks new events and focus!
Let's hope that most of us can focus on positive and brighter things this year!
Talking about welcoming new year, on social media like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook the hashtag #NewYear has been trending since 30th Disember, alongside captions "New year new self", "Time to open new book", or of some sorts.
I generally don't really celebrate the event of New Year. It's just a normal day for me, maybe some reminder that it's 2018 now and not 2017 because I often wrote past year for dates, and that is embarassing. huhu
But somehow this time I wanted to make a different; making some resolutions and goals for 2018. I've entered 21 of age, and I think it's best if I make some notes on what I should change or whether I've improved as I aged. It's more on self-reflection really.
So these are my resolutions that I've chosen for 2018 (so I can keep up with them).
Hope it's not too late to make a welcome post on refreshing 2018!

TO A BETTER SELF!
It's not much, I know. There's only two for my studies, and the rest are more to self-organizing and spiritual matter. I believe that if I could improve on my daily schedules, eliminate procrastinating, my studies will improve too!
(OH and see that no. 15? Once two weeks isn't much to people but knowing myself... Better starts slow!)
I even wrote it up on my bujo so I can keep track of them on my daily routines! (or monthly).
However, even though I got myself 20 goals and resolutions to improve myself throughout the year, I wouldn't use the phrase "new year new self". Stepping into 2018 doesn't mean I've become a new person. I may shed some negativity and tried to be in new perspectives, but that is not me transforming into a new person.
People don't change overnight. It's difficult if they want to. In this new year, I am still myself, I am still with my personality, but better. I am proud of what I have become, and I will change what I am not proud of.
Not just that, I'm not approve of using "time to open new book", because that means I'm going to close 2017 and shut it behind. If I put my past behind my sights, I won't be able to see what I've done, what I've achieved in the past year. I can't learn from my past mistakes, and see what I should change.
I don't know about other people, but I just don't agree on being a new person on new year or any other day and putting our pasts behind. It's not that I like to drag on and think of the past, it's about what I can learn from it, make new things with it.
Either way, I've given you guys my thoughts on celebrating new year and 20-New-Year-Resolutions!
May we all achieve our goals this year and be a better self for ourselves and people surrounding!
p/s: It's never late to start, or to change! New year is just a date, you can start anytime you want to, but it's best to be soon!
