Twenty-Twenty: It Has A Nice Ring To It, Doesn't It!?

The new decade is finally here and it makes you feel really old when you realise you're living in your third decade. The recklessness and free spirit of your quarter life years is fading and the middle ages are fast approaching. If you could turn back the clock or fast forward it you'd realise every stage of life comes with it's own challenges.

So the year is a new one but the challenges are old because there's nothing new under the sun. You'd think social media is new but it's really just a mode of communication and communication has been there for the longest. And since people could communicate they would lie, cheat, pretend they're doing better than they actually are and spread toxic gossip. We might be young and living online but we're doing well. Those who came before us started world wars after all.

I know a lot of people like me have resolutions and some don't subscribe to that notion which is fair and fine. Often taking different paths to the same destination leads to eye opening discoveries. Also if we all followed the same path we would find ourselves shouting at each other because of traffic congestion. So be unique and your own person. I know it sounds simple on paper but everything that's worth it life comes with hard work.

The past is something that doesn't exist anymore. 2019 is gone and we'll never get it back or get a chance to alter anything about. I know we want to change some things about but it's too late and we've only the present for company. Focusing your mind on what's no longer there is often just self torture.

Well we are looking forward and it's about goals, change, resolutions and new directions. But it's also a moment to look at everything you've managed to do and thank yourself. Yes they've been a ton of people around you and around every corner. Your support system is amazing but you're the most important player in your life without everyone else means nothing.
