Just. Make. A. Decision
I've never been the one to write down my resolutions, burn them in the fire, and wish on a star. I thought it was useless. The past two New Years, I found myself huddled in my room on my bed crying. Always something goes wrong. This past year hasn't been easy, and in fact, I found 2020 one of the most challenging years so far. Imagine, I graduate high school, my Europe trip is in a couple of months, and I'm planning on building a tiny house. Suddenly, everything in the world stops, strapped for cash, my first overseas trip is out the window, I declined the only university that accepted me, toilet paper is hard to come by, and I can't even go to the beach? I thought the end was near, or maybe I had too many conspiracies in my head. New world order, as they call it. Even so, 2020 seemed to fly by, and that was the scariest part. I hadn't lived a year noticing it before, seeing the weeks and months rolling by. I know one thing, if I continue to live every year like 2020, and start something new, I would get stuck here. Stuck, with the same people I see, stuck driving the same road every morning, and worst stuck seeing the same barista every Sunday morning. The following you are about to read is what I have decided no longer serve me and the subtle changes I am implementing into my life. Enjoy.

Bite me, not that hard!
As much as I love a good show, I'd say I don't laze around watching TV all day. However, after dinner, a Friday night, or a rainy, it's these moments that entrap me into watching something advertised on Netflix or Stan. We had just finished watching some German show on Netflix when my boyfriend mentioned it. I couldn't believe it. He is the only person I know who is deeply passionate about films, scriptwriting, play, cinematography, etc... To hear him utter the words "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" sent me laughing and snorting. Looking at the trailer even confirmed my expectations. Firstly, from the terrible effects of the vampires and werewolves; to the cliché 90s high school girl drama. I knew it would only last one episode. Amazingly, after a couple of seasons in, and we both found ourselves laughing heartedly at the stupid jokes, and I was genuinely interested in Buffy's backstory. Did a mention a young David Boreanaz??!!

Heart of Gold
I've been brought up to always be kind, compassionate and patient, even when faced with your foe, friend, or stranger. Those three principles always seem to rise above the rest. Whether I offer to carry an elderly person's groceries, or for a woman juggling a baby and a squealing toddler, it's in those moments where the person’s eyes brighten. Compassion for those who are struggling, I know what it is like, I too have struggled. They don't have that extra dollar when they are at the checkout, seeing the look on customers faces when the boss says no worries and have a good day is priceless and fleeting. It's these little moments that spark the fuel in me to remember compassion and understanding, no matter whose shoes we stand in.
