Touya: Hey birdie, any New Year Resolutions
Keigo: Didn’t take you for a Resolutions guy
Touya: Yeah well, I’m full of surprises
Keigo: Hmmmm what are yours?
Touya: Stay alive, probably
Keigo:
Keigo: Well now I feel stupid ‘cause I was gonna say try all the KFC flavours
Yes 2022 was a good year to me. Though i went through a lot of "crying myself to sleep, weeping in the shower, wiping my tears with my sleeve"s it was worth it at the end of the day. Every single thing accounts to something else. I love how each and every things is interconnected. Now here i am at the beginning of another year. I am alive. And i am grateful for that. I sure will go through suffering the upcoming year too, and im ready for it.
every year i set new year goals that i end up not doing because they're too ambitious. this year my goals are going to be like, idk, brushing my teeth? eating three meals a day? something realistic girl.
Alright, I'm gonna do something I've never done before...
Be consistent
All jokes aside. Between this being a draft and it going up. I'm going to challenge myself to write character scenes to introduce you all to the world of my many characters and their relationship with with my main character, Cassie.
The challenge: For the whole month of January, I have to post a small scene showcasing a few of my characters. They can be of any length, but they at least have to be more then 1k. If I can't reach that, then I'll have another story making up the difference.
Now, I'm expecting myself to fail because I become overwhelmed very easily; but I'm hoping this challenge will give me the necessary stress to actually finish it.
Update 1/03: I'm four days strong and I'm liking this challenge so far. I made a whole blog for this challenge, so go check it out!
So, wish me luck. If you want, you could participate as well, so I don't suffer alone but tag me so I can see your stories 🤗
Reflecting on the Year That Was: Celebrating New Year's Eve
Shaina Tranquilino
December 31, 2023
As we bid adieu to another year, it's time to reflect on the ups and downs we've experienced and look forward to new beginnings. New Year's Eve is a special occasion that brings people together from all walks of life to celebrate, reminisce, and set their intentions for the coming year. It’s a night filled with joy, hope, and excitement as we eagerly anticipate what lies ahead. In this blog post, let's explore the significance of New Year's Eve and how we can make the most out of this magical evening.
1. The Power of Reflection: New Year's Eve offers us an opportunity to pause, reflect, and take stock of our accomplishments, challenges, and personal growth throughout the year. By acknowledging our achievements and learning from our setbacks, we gain valuable insights into who we are and where we want to go in life. Take some time to journal or meditate on your journey so far – appreciate your successes and embrace lessons learned.
2. Gratitude for Lessons Learned: Expressing gratitude is an essential part of celebrating New Year’s Eve. As you ponder upon the past year, remember to be thankful for the experiences that have shaped you into the person you are today. Express appreciation for friends who stood by your side during tough times, mentors who guided you towards success, or even those seemingly insignificant moments that taught you important life lessons.
3. Setting Meaningful Intentions: New Year's resolutions often fade away quickly because they lack depth and purpose. Instead of setting vague goals like "exercise more" or "eat healthier," consider crafting meaningful intentions for the upcoming year. Set realistic objectives that align with your values and aspirations—ones that inspire personal growth while keeping yourself accountable throughout the journey.
4. Sharing Joyous Moments with Loved Ones: New Year’s Eve provides us with a chance to celebrate with loved ones, strengthening bonds and creating lasting memories. Whether you choose to host a small gathering at home, join a community event, or even participate in virtual celebrations, surround yourself with the people who bring joy and positivity into your life. Together, share laughter, reminisce about shared experiences, and look forward to new adventures that lie ahead.
5. Embracing Cultural Traditions: New Year's Eve is celebrated differently around the world, each culture adding its unique touch of customs and rituals. Explore various traditions such as lighting fireworks (safely!), eating specific foods for good luck, writing down wishes on paper lanterns before releasing them into the night sky, or participating in spiritual ceremonies. Embrace these cultural practices that resonate with you and add an extra layer of meaning to your New Year's Eve experience.
As the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, let us embrace this magical transition from one year to another with open hearts and minds. Reflecting on our journey so far allows us to appreciate personal growth while setting meaningful intentions paves the way for a purposeful year ahead. Celebrating alongside loved ones and embracing cultural traditions brings joy and unity during this special occasion. So raise your glasses high as we bid farewell to the old year and wholeheartedly welcome the new one – cheers to new beginnings!
