A New Year Ahead...

Mary Helen Bower



It's been over two months since I've last written. 

Since it's New Year's Eve, I thought it was rather appropriate to sit down on my bed and tap this out on my laptop whilst I can hear the constant icy breeze blowing past my slightly ajar window, occasionally interrupted by the pop and cackle of fireworks in the neighbourhood.

Reminiscing over my Instagram photos this year I realised that actually, although time has flown by, a lot of things have happened this year. Traveling to various places, meeting new people, moving offices, progressing at work, eating and trying new foods... many many things.
Just makes me think that whilst our day to day life causes us to become slightly tunnel visioned, or burdened with the daily stresses in life, we shouldn't forget what we have achieved. And most importantly, to look forward, straight ahead, and keep going. It doesn't matter if there is no clear goal, or things seem uncertain - just look ahead in a direction you feel is right.

I think this year, I'm becoming more and more myself, going towards a direction with confidence in being me. Knowing what I want, I need, and what I stand for. It doesn't matter how many brick walls I hit on the way, but I know that what has happened will be the reason why I am who I am. Both the good and bad things that happen will make you better if you take time to reflect and improve yourself where suitable.
