2020.

Happy New Year, lovelies! As I write this, it's' almost 9pm on January 1st 2020. I'm sat having a bit of a think about my life and where I want to be this time next year. If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll perhaps know that pretty much every year, I write a blog post about my aims and goals for the year ahead - kind of like a new year's resolutions post, but I have something against calling them resolutions (don't ask me what or why, because I can't even justify it myself).

If you want to read my goals posts for the last four years, you can find them here: 

• 2016 Goals / Bucket List 
• 2017 Goals & Resolutions
• 2018 Goals and Resolutions
• A Few New Year Goals (2019)

If I'm being honest, sat here now, I'm not sure what the year ahead will hold for me. I'm a completely different person from this time last year and I think I want different things to what I wanted last year. But I'm not really sure what I want. I mean, obviously, the main goal (and the one that will always be a goal, no matter what the year) is to be happy. But the form that happiness comes in is something I'm not going to be able to predict - and, for once, I'm so okay with that. 

This year, I'm not going to put as much pressure on myself. I'm a very chilled, easy going person in general but sometimes I have a tendency to overthink things and, sometimes, it really isn't that deep. That's something I'm going to have to tackle because, if I'm completely honest, I am tired. 

So, while I don't really have many goals for the year, here are some (perhaps really obvious ones) that   I've managed to come up with: 

• Get my degree! I'm in final year at uni and I would really like to finish with a first - although I would be happy, of course, with a 2:1. 

• Actually get back on the blogging train - although I think this will probably come more so in the second half of the year. The first half will most likely be very uni-work focused. 

• Read more; a goal that's been on my lists for at least the past two years, and one that goes really well for the first month or so but then ultimately fails - oops? 

And that's all I've managed to come up with. 2020, for me, is about being happy, accepting myself and doing what I want to do - no matter what. And I've got a good feeling about it. I'm feeling positive. 

Again, Happy New Year and thank you for sticking with me for the past going on six years. I hope your 2020 is the best year ever.
