New year, Old me

Just as the title implies, a new year doesn’t change who you are. you’re still the same person, same character in your own story- nothing changes. although many might refer to a new me as new ideas, new plans, new goals, etc.
those old plans and goals you were working on in 2020, have they been completed? it takes a lot to be a new person just like it takes a lot to leave your old ways. “change is constant” they say, but it’s never easy to adjust to a change. i used to be a victim of all those motivational quotes. “new year, new me” “write down your new year goals” “forget about the old you, it’s a new year and a new you” we do so much forgetting so as to forget the point that we’re still the same person. there isn’t anyone or anything that’s going to change that except us. you’ve to first of all accept who you are and who you were. once you’ve accepted who you are and were, then you keep track of your old goals and plans. to transition, you can’t move to the next stage without going through the previous. mind you, it’s your life and not anyone else’s.
