                  I’ve always said every year that I should change for the better and force myself to find the joy and love I have been longing for, but this year it felt weird because I did not promise or write anything that I should change this year. It was not serious for me to say the phrase “new year, new me”, because I knew that I could never force myself to change for someone or for anyone. If only it was easy to say that word “change” and actually change but it scares me to do it knowing I hate change, I feel uneasy when something changes, because I know it will never come back to what it is used to be.

People come and ...
