Feeling reflective?


At the half year mark of every year, (also circuit breaker so i have more time to write haha #sgunited) i like to reflect and see how far i have accomplished my new year resolutions. To be perfectly honest, most of the time, I repeat my new year resolutions. Maybe because some of them are habits I want to form in which 1 year isn't enough (like exercising) and some of the resolutions are just not easy to keep to (like exercising haha). So one of my #ResolutionOfTheCentury is to "Live in the moment" and I swear, it is so hard.

Idk is it because I am just emotionally charged, ready to empathize, cry and re-question my existence just by listening to a stranger's problems. At some point, i really felt it could be impossible. Years of reminding myself and recycling this resolution just left me feeling less and less of a believer that I could achieve it.

In year 2020. This year lah. Not only do I feel like I am living in the moment, I feel that I finally understand why I have been failing all those years. There was only one variable. The people I choose to surround myself with. I realised (by coincidence) that a lot of the people around me were not helping me live in the moment. They are not evil lah! It's just that people say before they think how it might affect my feelings. And I think that's just the nature of some characters and for others, they just dont understand or listen to your needs.

You can still be friends no doubt. But I learnt that people who truly love you, despite not being sensitive by nature, would want to learn to love you better, in a way that works for you.

So I guess what i am trying to say, is that if you feel like your new year resolutions aren't working out perfectly for you every year, sometimes, dont blame yourself too much :) Observe what's around you and see if you need to change any of that. Sometimes, the variable isn't you.
