Feeling hopful for the new year

It’s easy to feel excited or confident in the new year, feeling like you’re capable of doing anything and wanting things to change as quickly as possible..

But that feeling usually dies down by February. For me it does, at least. I usually say something like “This time’s different”, or “This is the year it all changes”, but I really mean it this time. No more laziness, no more beating myself up for not trying, no more letting life blow me in whichever direction it wants and bending to it. 2026 is the year I try. This is the year I do all the groundwork, and the year after is going to be even better than this one. I’m going to work as hard as I can this year to make what I want happen. I have a pretty solid plan. Will it be easy? Definitely not, but I’m sick of not doing things just because they’re difficult. I was fed up with my life, so I decided I was going to change. It’s all going to work out, I know it.
