It’s frickin 2017….when did that happen? I remember NYE 1999. My parents were throwing a party and waiting for Y2K to hit and the world to come crumbling down. And now look at us! Our phones hold our entire world, Trump is our President and a juice bar is on every corner.
So 2017 is the year I’ve decided to change my life. I have lived a really fucking great life. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and it’s because of one decision. To have an intention as oppose to a resolution. I’ve always been the person to expect things to happen for me….without putting in any effort. I don’t know, maybe its pure laziness or maybe I put too much hope into manifestation. Regardless, I’m done sitting back and hoping things will happen the way I want them to.
This is the definition of a resolution: a firm decision to do or not to do something.
Definition of intention: a thing intended; an aim or plan.
They seem pretty similar right? But for New Year’s it’s always about the resolution of changing themselves. I need to lose weight, I need to drop that douche bag ex of mine, or I need to stop drinking so much. It’s always kind of negative, right? New Year, new life…hell no. I’m awesome, why would I want to change? Why not add to your life instead of chipping away the pieces that make you…you!
I’ve never done a blog before and honestly I haven’t really given it too much thought. But I saw my life coach yesterday (yes, I know. I’m fancy AF) and she gave me the push I needed to start my intention. The Secret of the Single Girl is basically my diary. From horrendous Bumble dates to fancy dinners in Hollywood. Plus the talks with my mom where she asks when she’s getting a grandchild *insert eye roll.* It’s going to be a blast.
