New Year: 2015
New Year: 2015

With a few hours left on the clock in 2014, I am more than prepared to finally ring in 2015.

I consider myself a pretty positive person when it comes to reflecting on things. Except, with 2014, the negatives outweigh the positives. I’m sure my negatives are nothing compared to many other’s out there in the world, especially those that were encountered with Ebola, or those on missing flights, or even all of those families that have suffered with the loss of loved ones for no reason at all. But coming from my baseline, I consider 2014 to be one of the worst years I have yet to be put in. I am more than thankful for being blessed with another complete year, afterall, the world was supposed to end in 2012 and 2013, so hey, another year is definitely another blessing that I’m more than happy to take. I just wish it occurred a little differently (#firstworldproblem).

I did a mid-year evaluation back in June, which was filled with mostly negative comments, but I hoped for a better rest of the year. In my opinion, it happened in some areas, but didn’t in others. Some personal matters picked up significantly and I’m elated about that. But then, there were some things that still just made me really hate 2014. I don’t want to go into details about all the negative aspects that occurred this year for the sake of, I don’t want to remember them detail by detail. I do want to remember them, though, for the purposes of remembering why I am where I am and how I became who I am. This year has definitely changed my opinion on a lot of things, and I’m not sure if it’s because of the events that happened or if it’s because I’m growing and maturing, or a mixture of both.

I don’t like generalizing, but I feel it’s safe to say that a lot of people didn’t have such a great 2014, when compared with all the other years. Must have been something in the air or something, but I’ve spoken with a number of people who have shared with me that they want 2015 because this year just absolutely was the worst. I know the upcoming year is calling for a lot of things to be done differently, especially by me. I need to handle situations, think, and perform much differently. And I definitely expect to see some outcomes at least by the middle of the year. Of course, it is no guarantee, but I need to do my best to make it into a guarantee.

On a different note, if you had just an amazing 2014, maybe celebrated a birth, a marriage, graduated, whatever it was, I am so happy for you. It makes me happy to know that not every single person in the world shared the same negativity I did. I wish you an even better 2015, because I believe that everybody deserves only great years in life.

I would like to wish each and every person a wonderful, prosperous, healthy, enjoyable, joyous, 2015.

2015, let’s go.
