Too fast. Everything's changing too fast around you and sometimes you are afraid that you can not catch up with it.
"Everybody's changing, and I don't feel the same". It almost feels like everything around you is evolving without you in it. Just like an old antique vase in the middle of high-tech living room: too fragile to be moved and too usual to be noticed.
That is when you realized that you need change. A Refreshment. Whether it is new clothes, new haircut, new hobby, or new job. You will do anything you can to fit in a fast-changing society. You think it is for the best, but the truth is: you are scared. Society is mean, baby and for those who can not fit in, will be outcast-ed. You are completely aware of that.
So, here you are. New year, new you. At first, you will be excited. For you are sure, that you have taken a bold, courageous and the best decision for your life. Then, you will have doubts. What if the new you is still considered OLD for the society? What if the decisions you take are just impulsive and will never answer your anxiety? What if the excitement you feel is just for temporary? What if it doesn't change what you thought would be changed? What if you are wrong?
You can be wrong. It is highly likely that you are wrong. So what with being wrong? Albert Einstein once said, "A person who never made a mistake, never tried something new". So go make new mistakes, but LEARN from it and move on. Mistakes are the best experiences one can have to be a better person. So, let's not be afraid to make mistakes. At least you can say that you've tried. Whenever I have to make difficult decision in my life, I always ask myself: which decision will cause me regret more? Because when I am grey and old, I don't want to baffle with myself, looking back and regretting the decisions I am not brave enough to take. God knows, you will be having a lot of battles with life, at least have peace within yourself.
2018, I don't ask you to be nice, just slow down a little bit, baby!
