Special Little Things That Wrapped 2015

I was about to spend my new year's eve by being a couch potato. I was about to stop making any new year's resolution since I don't see how things will be able to go as we plan. Yet, somehow, there were these little things that reminded me how it's okay to still be hopeful. How it is okay to be happy and feel grateful.

So, what were those little things?

Really, they're simple. 

First, when I was about to go to KFC to get my NYE's dinner (well, yes, my NYE's dinner for this year and last year was as fancy as KFC), I passed a street artist in the street. Seeing him somehow reminded me of my father. No, my father was not a street artist. I just remembered how my father said that he wanted to be rich and successful so that he would be able to help people who are less fortunate than him. Was he successful enough to do that? Well, I would like to say yes. My family may not be rich, but I know he inspired and helped a lot of people in his life.

This simple thing actually just shook me and helped me to realise, why should I stop striving for a better life? Why did I want to forget all of my dreams? Why was I so hopeless in the last months of 2015? Life may not be that meaningless after all. 

Second, as I mentioned before, I was about to just being a couch potato on my new year's eve. I lost excitement to enjoy the night. I lost excitement to party (well, I never enjoy partying actually). I even lost excitement to watch fireworks on TV. But that night I suddenly thought, how about a little walk in the city. I didn't have to be in the city center, where people were partying hard and looked so happy. I didn't have to be in the place where it's beautiful and fancy enough to be shown on my social media. And turned out, we ended up being in the park which located at a small hill. And from that park, I was able to see how beautiful fireworks in The Hague actually were. Was I happy? Yes. And as I've said before, it's simple. 

Anyway, it's always arguable whether making resolution is a right thing to do or not. People may say that it actually hinders you to achieve your dreams. People may say it's bullshit since you will only be excited to fulfil them in the first months -- or even weeks. Knowing myself, I know I rarely stick to any commitment (except a relationship, I guess). I always run away. I always stop doing things in the middle--never finish them. My friend said that it's a typical of AB (blood type) person. I would say it's a typical Gemini. But I would like to change that. One of my resolution for this year is actually to post anything every week on my blog. Will I be able to stick on that? Let's see. Meanwhile, happy new year, people! May this year be alright. May this year be awesome.
