I have barely registered the fact that 2016 is here and voila the first month is almost gone. Nevertheless, it is better to be late than never. 2016 is right here and I vow, this one would be different.
It is finally time for me to sort my priorities, filter the junk, hug the awesomeness and fall in love with myself because life is really short and I want to make the most out of it.

So, here is exactly how I plan 2016 to be the year I have always craved to have- with new chances, fresh starts, great beginnings and a shower of promises I will make sure to commit to. Oh, I will!
I promise to be gentle

Yes, this year, I am breaking up with anger, stress and anxiety. I have had enough with these and I know it takes me nowhere. I just lost my own sweet time and hurt this little body a bit too much. This year, I am breaking up with things and people that don’t deserve to be in my life. So, anger, anxiety and stress, be packing your bags, because the year to make new friends has set in.
I promise to smile, a lot.

2015 was the year I spent crying into my pillow than laughing at the gifts life bestowed upon me. This year, I am done with sobbing in my oversized tee. I promise to smile, for every beautiful thing I see in life- from my little kitten that plays her antics to brighten my day to the roadside dog that always jumps when I cross the road and even the little random stranger who steals a look in my direction and gestures how amazing life is. Yes, I will smile to the happiness which life often gives, but we fail to notice.
I promise to stay jerk-free

2015 was the year of too many wrong guys, missed calls, close saves, bad decisions, blooper dates and more. I promise 2016 will see me steering clear of all those jerks that ruined my mascara on too many occasions. Things might not always be in my control but I can step with care!
I will learn to love myself before giving my heart to anyone else. I promise not to chase love but let it come to me. Love makes the world go round, but it doesn’t mean that I would lower my standards for the sake of fetching love.
I promise to pursue my passion

After a string of wrong career decisions and chasing my work life to an extent that I stopped living, I have decided to finally cut myself a break from the rigors of being a corporate slave. I promise not to “yes sir” to every damn thing the boss says. I have decided to choose a stream which I can pursue not because it comes with a hefty paycheck but because it is something which enriches my soul. I will choose passion over power this year and carve a name for myself.
I am going to type that damn resignation letter and live my life on my own terms. I have decided that when I will be 80, I won’t count the number of paychecks, but the smiles I shared while I was working.
I promise to pamper

Yes. This one is high on my list. 2016 will be the year I will reinvent myself. Gone are the days when a screwed schedule prevented me from pampering myself. I am going to take that weekly spa, paint my toenails in the flashiest of neon shades, doll up just for myself, pout and pose and click too many selfies- making the most of the life I have. I am beautiful and I don’t need a guy to vouch for that. This would be the year I would accept me for who I am and be happy with the self-image.

All in all, this year, I promise not to simply exist, but live every moment. Seize it. I promise to make the most of every moment and rediscover my inner self to fall more in love with my gypsy soul. I promise to travel, explore and find what lies within so I can come back and document everything I did to testify I did all that I have promised here!
Yes, this will be the year I will become who I am destined to be.
2016, let the romance begin!
