I always thought that celebrating the New Year was one big cliche, but I've come to think that it is a bit more than just that. Although it may not be an automatic 'new start' or 'beginning', as realistically it is just another date on the calendar, the arrival of a new year can alter people's perspectives and inspire change. I think the New Year is what you make of it. Nothing drastically changes over night but it can be a time for people to consider the past year and hopefully take action to improve the next one. Although 2014 hasn't been a perfect year, every year has it's own ups and downs.
I'd like to thank all my friends who have stuck by me, especially the long term ones, and my family. I've definitely come to realise that ultimately it's the people in your life who are the most valuable.
Let's hope 2015 holds great things. As for the bad, well, we'll have to deal with that if and when it happens.
I wish everyone a good New Year.
Best wishes,
Laura.
