As the new year begins...

Well, I am new to this. I don't generally plan so much for my life. And I definitely don't write them down like this. But then, as you would read along, this year it's all about bringing changes in me.

I have lived my life in a very smooth and safe way. Not that I didn't make decisions that I repented or gave second thoughts to, but I surely chose the safer way out. I am so not the adventurous sorts.

However, this year, is going to be different. It is going to bring along a lot of changes in me and my life. I have decided on a few things that I will be incorporate in my life. Well, a lot of different stuff than the usual predictable me!

First thing first, I have decided to simply refuse to let others affect me. I know someone who knows me way too well is have a smirk of disbelief as he reads this...but it's true. Now that I am 24, I already know all those who matter to me and whom I matter a lot to. My life is going to about. And nobody else is going to be allowed in the territory that I have built for myself with so much perseverance.

This means, the only people I will be worried about from now on are going to be those selective loving and caring ones in my life! My family, my closest pals and I guess that's it! Apart from them, I am not concerned. Had some big disappointments from people I tried getting involved with out of social concerns with last year. Not going to let that happen again.

This decision of mine has led me to another similar one. This year, I will be a bit more selfish. Sounds bad, I know but then, I have been too understanding and selfless to few people only to see them simply not valuing what they were getting. So again, the understanding, nice and giving Suruchi is only accessible to those 5-6 people I care for. Others, all are in for my other facet which will only be harmful for their health so they better stay out of my way. ;)

This year, is going to be different in terms of my independence and pride. I am getting it back. I had lost my self confidence for some time owing to some really adverse circumstances. Today, thanking the Almighty, I have it back. I have my independence, I have a loving family's support and I have lots of love and care in my life. Which means I have nothing more to worry about. Life is GOOD! :)

This year is going to bring about the most important phase of my life. It is going to decide the course my life takes on the personal front. As we will enter the inevitable discussions of love, family and life, all I want to do is pray and hope things fall in place at least by the end of 2010. As it seems right now, the year is not going to be a smooth one in that context! But I am ready and THAT is nice!

Another small decision, I am going to do away with whiners from my life. Enough of playing an agony aunt, I have learned that self pity is the worst form of pity and if someone is going overboard with it, I am better off without them. Phew! This one is going to take a lot of conviction from me, I know. But then, I will try really hard.

Coming to a very crucial decision. From today onwards, I promise to take care of myself. I know, sounds stupid, but it's true. I don't take care of myself. The food I eat, the lifestyle I live has affected me in a very bad way. Not just that, I am going to take care of my looks, my skin and get rid of all problems associated with them. Enough of discomforts, it's time to live life in a better way! It's going to be healthier from now on. I don't care about my weight, but I am going to take care of my body!

So this brings me to almost all of my big and small decisions I took recently. I am deliberately not calling them resolutions, because I don't want them to get broken! They are my decisions and I want to abide by them.

Big plans I know, but surely doable. I am only trying to bring back my original me to shape. The person I have become is not truly me. Circumstances affected me way too much. Just going to get rid of those unnecessary problems and shedding the waste out of my life!

May this year bring peace to our lives, and to the world!

P.S. Well to start blogging is my New Year Resolution. So it is bound to break anytime! ;)
