So Christmas is over, all of those invites to places you didn't attend have been taken down, you made it through the new years party or family gathering you felt you needed to attend and what's left?
For me, it's an overwhelming sensation of excitement, fear, anxiety and impatience. This may not sound like the most positive start to the year but in fact it's perfectly normal and happy in my eyes!
Let me explain...
I'm an introvert. Now, most people don't realise the benefits, the amazing feeling it is once you realise and accept that this is a part of you and when we live in a world with so many extroverts it can be very difficult to get the alone time that we need.
My Christmas started early this year, October actually! so I'm quite glad that we're passed it... Not because it wasn't good....it was perfect but because I love new beginnings and the positive thoughts that surround us when everybody has made their new years resolutions and feel invinsable like they can accomplish anything!! This may be heightened by the fact that the majority of people are also drunk when they make these promises but there really is a true sense of 'I can achieve anything!'
My new years didn't include any of that alcohol, parties and being surrounded by loads of people. I purposely wouldn't put myself through the torture by going somewhere with a humongous crowd of people, pushing and shoving and fighting and dancing and singing and all that noise and flashing lights...Ahhh! Makes me wanna lock myself up forever just thinking about it!
No, I'm an introvert. So I spent my new years eve with the love of my life, chilling on the sofa, eating pizza and sweets and discussing our new years resolutions. Unlike most people who have maybe 1-3 new years resolutions.... We thought long and hard about ours and I ended up with a whole page full!! I know... A lot to take on for an introvert right?... Well no actually, I don't have one new years resolution that puts me in a position where I'm surrounding by too many people, (apart from go to a festival) which I'll have to face when it comes to it! But besides that, I'm very excited about all of my new years resolutions. I'll write a post showing all of my new years resolutions and how I'm going to achieve it. (yes, I have a lot of time on my hands)
The only problem I now face is that of wanting to do them all right now!! As many other introverts will find, once you find something you want to do, whether that's to learn someone new or read a book, u tend to want not to wait! We're impatient, we want to know EVERYTHING and we want to know it now....and that's exactly why Im so anxious for the new year! It's so much to achieve in 365 days! But I am invinsable!! :)
