Alteration

 

Almost every New Year celebration, we brace and prepare ourselves for what’s to come, with this we also say promises that we hope to alter in the coming year, in my experiences it hasn’t been the most consistent, but with motivation it could be quite effective in righting our wrongs, and the best source of motivation are our shortcomings or our loved ones

 

The most common things we tend to improve about ourselves are our weaknesses and mistake in the past years, for me it was the procrastinations of school activities leading to some sleepless and coffee-fueled nights, and of course, this year I attended two contests that assigned me to edit videos, I didn’t do bad and not that well either, the final outputs were rough around the edges but as a beginner, I gave pats on my back knowing that I would definitely get better in time. and of course, I could’ve said or did better to my friends and family this year. When we do great and new things, we wouldn’t even dare to forget them, when I partook in the video-editing events, I was incredibly excited and optimistic, especially the first one, it will be forever etched on my mind. The worst experience of 2021 for me was the passing of my loving Aunt Magnolia, it really hit me hard when I heard the news from my older cousins, since when my mother went to Candon for training, she made sure she left me into the right hands, and she did, my beloved Aunt treated me like her own offspring, even her real sons and daughter would get jealous seeing her being affectionate to me, I really miss the way she calls me “anak” with a high tone, but it’s all a burning memory, may she rest in paradise.

 

Having a New Year’s resolution is definitely ideal if you would like to have a better year, but of course, nobody is perfect and we can hardly avoid any mistakes in a year, so why not lessen it? Its finally 2022, and in this year, I expect myself to improve my shortcomings, right my wrongs, continue my successes, and move on in the past, because you can’t go anywhere if you keep looking back.
