Volunteers
Throughout history, there is a subject that has not received the amount of attention that it deserves. The subject that I am speaking of is the word "Volunteers." As the years have passed with names reaching out from the past and to the future to prompt us of those who have gone before us, the word volunteer should be included with these names. The reason that I mention this is for the fact that all the options seem to fade into the background when it comes to this subject.

At Least I Did It
"Thank you for your patronage," I said, as I walked out the door. Wow! Two dollars tip? That’s nice, I charge $15 but she gave me $17 just for the little work I did that took less than 35 minutes. She was my first cleaning business client, I did not even think anyone was gonna call me, nonetheless, she did. As I walked towards the big dumpster, I started tearing up; how I earn $17 from doing something I love, something which started as an idea and is now a reality. I felt fulfilled and accomplished. Then I said to myself, "Divine, you did it!" Even if this was the only customer I will ever have from this cleaning business, I am fulfilled, my idea did not die as a thought or a plan but it came to reality.

Why I Don't Make New Year's Resolutions
It’s that time of year again. Your social media friends are all claiming “New Year, New Me!” And we all know, most of them aren’t going to change a single thing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure a lot of them had all these good intentions. The problem lies in that a new year doesn’t actually mean you have any real motivation to make all these changes and improvements. That’s exactly why I don’t make resolutions. A new year just is not enough to motivate me to actually make the changes I want to see in myself.

New Year. New Me. New Attitude
I usually make New Year’s resolutions. I did not do that this year. Last year opened my eyes to a lot of things. My circle of friends got smaller. I was reminded that I am the only one who is in control of my life. I cannot rely on anyone else to make me happy. I did a lot of thinking last year and I reminded myself that there are things that are never going to change. There are people who will really never care about anyone else except themselves. Those are the people who are manipulative and will do whatever they have to do to make themselves look good and other people look bad. I do not want to associate with people like that. That is not who I am. People did a lot of damage to me last year, and I have spent the past few months trying to get out of a major slump. I am not back to 100 percent yet, but I am definitely doing better than I was 3 or 4 months ago.

A Fresher Perspective on New Year's Resolutions
I want to change the conversation around resolutions. I want to change the annoying perception of how meaningless the phrase of “new year, new me” has come to be. The truth is, this fad had spread like wildfire over the last couple years on social media until it finally lost its grandeur.

In the New Year, a Mindful Inventory
The first days of January are spammed with social media posts of stuff like the “2000-something best nine” Instagram pictures, quotes that compile the lessons we learned from the year’s experiences, and so on. But it often takes a lot of guts to actually sit down and reflect about what worked and what didn’t: the actions that either helped us move forward or sunk us to the ground, the thoughts that influenced our outlook on life, the relationships we maintained, and the toxic circumstances we kept coming back to. As 2018 came to an end, I pictured all of the important moments I lived throughout it as different boxes stacked inside a basement, boxes I would examine as if performing an inventory. Some of these boxes I’ve decided to keep, and some I’m throwing out for good.

No Resolutions for the New Year
New year, new you, new expectations of who you should be. With each year, it is so tempting to make resolutions and promises to yourself of the person you want to become in the coming year. There is a glow of optimism, and maybe a little nervousness. Fitness, career, personal... there is always an area that could be better. We are human.

#NewYearNewMe
Ever since hashtags became "a thing" I've noticed that it's a good way to stay current with news, trends, and just about anything you want to find on social media websites. I used to think that they were irrelevant and pointless, but I've changed my mind over these past few years. They can be used for connecting with similar people, searching for information, or browsing food photos at 2 AM on Instagram. So, when I noticed the #NewYearNewMe hashtag across multiple social media websites, I started browsing.

2019 Is Here. What Now?!
2018 was interesting in so many ways for many of us. Fraught with worry over Brexit, moral panic over our own safety/sanity, FOMO and finances. Even deciding whether to go out and see the friends whose company you crave and yet needing to cuddle up on the sofa and have "downtime." Having that glass of wine to wind-down or gaining a booze-free day, fitting in a workout, answering your WhatsApp’s, counting your five a day, trawling through your emails (and realising GDPR was a bucket of nonsense), wracking your brain for a doable New Years resolution that doesn’t make you feel like a failure. Juggling everything.

Unparalleled Optimism, Not to Be Confused with Denial
I'm not depressed but aware that the clouds, in the sky are just too somber, grey and gloomy. I'm not depressed but aware that I'm just a little tired and tuckered out and whipped out all in one.
