I am a hater of
New Years Eve/Day. I have been a hater of this day for years now, and honestly,
it’s the one day of the year that I can never wait for to be over and here is
why…
1)
It
is NEVER like the movies. Every New Years I always get my hopes up for the
perfect movie day, and it just never happens. You know how in all the movies, 23.59
pm roles around, the countdown starts and there is the girl with her glass of
champagne and the man of her dreams wrapped around her, then the fireworks start,
everyone shouts “Happy New Year” and the most magical kiss occurs. In reality
that just does not happen. I don’t know why up until this year I always still
dreamt of that magical moment, because logically I knew that it never would
happen.
2)
What
ARE the perfect New Year plans? For the last few years I have tried to find the
perfect New Year plans, everything from house parties, to parties at a club to
pizza and movie in the comfort of my own home and never have any of my New Year
plans actually gone to plan, so much so that one year when I planned to spend
New Year’s with a (now ex) boyfriend the plans went so wrong that I didn’t actually
end up seeing said (now ex) boyfriend until after midnight and ended up
watching movies on my own for the whole evening. Maybe the day wouldn’t be so
bad if your New Year’s plans actually worked out.
3)
All
the super emotionally but ultimately fake reflections on the year. Honestly, I
somewhat enjoy reading what everyone has to say about the year, however there
is a very sinister part of me that reads peoples messages of love and I just feel
lied to. In the reality of life, no one’s year is ever perfect, no one’s year is
ever even close. Don’t get me wrong I believe people can have really, really good
years, but sometimes I just read messages on New Year and think about all the horrible
things that have actually happened within the year oppose to the happiness that
people try to portray on this day. To be fair, it’s probably my own poor
inability to forgive and forget the bad, that makes it so hard to read this
messages with an optimistic view point. It is something I need to work on.
4)
New
Year resolutions. I hate New Year resolutions! Why is it that you have to wait
the whole year before you can decide of things to do to better yourself and
your environment? Seriously? I don’t get it. If you want something to change,
you don’t have to wait for a whole New Year to do it. Also, as a rule, most of
the resolutions that people set are either incredibly unrealistic or are super irrelevant
in the grand scheme of a person’s happiness. I understand why people want to
set resolutions, but my advice is that you don’t have to wait to change the
things, you can do it whenever YOU want to.
However, even
though I have very strong feelings of hate towards this day of the year, my New
Year’s Eve/Day wasn’t actually that bad! The irony of the fact that this year I
had such a pessimistic view on how this day was go and yet actually found myself
having a good time. I was around an amazing group of people, including a lot of
my family, I had a nice alcohol buzz and spent the majority of the night
dancing away and best of all I woke up the next day hangover free (whoop whoop)!
I think the
moral of this story, is that even if I think I am going to hate something, with
the right people and a more positive attitude positive’s can always be found.
Well I hope you
had a good New Year’s Eve/Day, and despite my hate for this holiday, I truly
hope that 2018 kick the ass of 2017 for everyone. Have a wonderful start to
year and just make a point to truly enjoy whatever you going to be doing for
the next couple of days.
Much Love,
Holly xx
