Every New Year, I find myself looking back and looking forward. I look back at the past year. I think about everything that happened. I look back on photos, moments I shared with friends and family. I look back on what I did, and what I could have done. I hold regrets, and I’m also grateful for what I’ve experienced.
I look back through the past year, and each time, I am shocked that a year has gone by so quickly.
And so I look forward. I make resolutions. I make goals. I hope for certain things to happen. I make plans to achieve the goals I’ve set for myself. I think about upcoming events and things I have to do this year. I hope for the best.
I look forward to the year ahead of me, and each time, I realize that a year can go by so quickly.
So quickly that I forget to be present. I forget to look around and appreciate what’s happening right now; how I feel, how I’m reacting, how everyone around me looks and how I feel about them. A year can go by so quickly, and so do the memories each moment within that year hold.
This New Year, I don’t want to spend my time looking back and looking forward. I want to be present, and enjoy each moment the best I possibly can. I want to take the time to appreciate everything each moment this New Year brings me. And I hope the rest of you do as well.
Happy New Year. Don’t let it go by so quickly.
This was just beautiful, thank you made me realize how distant I’ve become in this wonderful community
