Embracing Change

For each and every one of us, there are things we've set for ourselves as a resolution for this year, either to adopt as a lifestyle or let go of what we used to do in the past. All in all, most of this is focused on the betterment of our lives, and in this article, I'll be talking about something I'll love to let go of this year in my bid to move forward with my life. I hope you'll find it worthwhile.

I'm not the type who indulges in many things or activities, so it's not easy to just pick one or two things I'll want to let go of, but after critical thinking, I've come to realize that there's one thing I should let go of this year in order for me to move on to the next phase of life. So to bring that new phrase into reality, I'll be sharing what I'll be letting go of this year, and without further ado, let's get into it.

Letting go of my aromaticsm:

For the past few years, I've stayed away from love and anything that has to do with affection or commitment to another person, and that's most definitely because of my past experience with love, which literally made me stay away from it or want anything to do with it. But the year is running by, and neither is it that I'm getting younger, so I guess letting go of that and giving love another chance would be a good idea for me.

If someone were to tell me that I'll change my mind when I make it up, never to love again, go into a relationship, not to talk of getting married, I'll say it's a lie, but then, I guess the saying that time healer is absolutely true, because with the amount of years that have passed, I've gradually recovered from the hurts and now freely made friends with the other gender, unlike how I ran away from anything that had to do with them years ago.

Another reason why this thought might be coming to mind aside from the fact that time heals is the fact that almost all of my friends are married and have children of their own. With the way they're evolving with life, I don't really feel comfortable any longer like I did when only a few of them got married, so I guess I better let go of the garment of aromaticsm and put on the coat of love.

The last but not least reason why I'm doing this is most definitely because of my love for children and the desire to have them around me. I'm a lover of kids, and seeing them brings me joy. There's no way one can have quality time with other people's children without a time coming for them to go home, so I guess my love for these young ones will push me out of my shell this year.

Basically, what letting go of aromatics would bring to my life is letting go of the past, giving love another try, and possibly starting a family of my own. I know this might take time to actualize, but then the year is still very young, so it's a step-by-step journey throughout the year.

And to actualize this, I just need to step out of my shell and be more friendly and nice to ladies, because in the past, I didn't even want to be friends with you once I knew you weren't married. I prefer making friends with married women because I know they've finally reached their bus stop, but a single lady might be expecting something to progress from the friendship, and that's why I stay off them, but the narrative would have to change for me to work this new resolution to perfection.

That's about it for today. I hope you enjoyed the read. Do have a wonderful night's rest and stay blessed.
