Happy new year!

This is it. The last day of the year. All of you may now be occupied by this day, whether running around across the roads trying to buy a cake like everybody else, planning for your best party along the whole year, posting those « Happy New Year » statuses in social media and congratulating your beloved ones, or spending it like me, under the faded lights of a library trying to recover the damage you did when you decided to not attend this or that course.
I was hearing people fed up of their lives, whether they are fed up of studying, monotony, work or anything else. They would always say « At least it’s new year’s eve. Maybe all this would end by the beginning of the new one. »
I know that saying that gives you hope, but I just want to tell you a few words before this 2017 comes to an end.
It is all a part of the same life. Whether it’s 2017, 2018 or the year 3000, it’s the same life. Don’t look at it like it’s devided. It is one. Because if you just live it year by year, you will always wait for the end of the current one, so that maybe, just maybe, the next one will make the difference. But then, if you look back, you’ll find out that time went by year by year and you’re still waiting for it to be the one where you achieve things. But if it’s going to be even a bit different, it’s because you make the difference, not the time. So stop asking days, months and years to be different. Stop asking them to be good. Because, it’s up to YOU.
Forget about time. The only thing that is going to change in this and every new year, is the date on that calendar, and that is not a good thing when you’re just staring at it and hoping.
Live life by seconds, not by years. If this second is not good, then try and change that in the second after. Changing your life begins by a small step, the one that you keep telling yourself that it won’t make a difference if you do it. Get up and make future, dare and engage yourself in something bigger, take part yourself in projects you never imagined doing, tell the people you love the most that you love them, notice the little details of life, that is the most important thing because it keeps reminding you that nothing deserves to frown about, open yourself up to others forwhy it’s from them that you’re going to learn the most. And please, forget about all what bothers you and be happy. You won’t get there unless you decide to go.
I wish you all a happy new year and may it be the reason to make you realise that this existance is continuous and so that this year be good, you have to decide for yourself and make it good. One day or day one, you decide.
