Peace out 2014! What’s up, 2015!?!
When I really stop to think about it, it’s fucking crazy that it’s 2015. I don’t know why, but to me, 2014 doesn’t sound as futuristic as 2015. For some reason 2015 sounds very “I should have my shit together by now” kinda year. Maybe it’s because this year I will be turning 35 or maybe because 35 sounds like I should have accomplished some massive shit by now. But the reality of it is, I am now where near there. I am single, live out of a rented apartment and still live paycheck to paycheck. Fuck me!
But the good news is, is that instead of sitting by myself on New Years Eve and feeling like a loser, I joined my girlfriend and her husband for a late night hot yoga class. And I gotta say, THANK FUCKING GOD I DID!
The class started out by having us write down on a piece of paper something that we wanted to leave behind in 2014. After that, we were told to tear it up. The next thing was, was to write down our proudest accomplishment to date and put it under our yoga mat. (I wrote down my book.) Lastly, we were instructed to write down our biggest dream that we want to happen in 2015, then hand it to a stranger in class, and they had to hang it on the wall so that all our blood, sweat and tears during class was working towards that.
After that, the lights went dark, glow sticks lite the room and a DJ spun killer music for the reset of the evening. And for the next 90 minutes we sweated out and downward dogged all of the bullshit out of our system from 2014, so that when it struck midnight, 2015 was a clean slate. And I gotta say, it felt fucking amazing!
When class was done, we sipped on champagne, nibbled on chocolate and it really hit me how I wouldn’t have wanted to ring in the New Year any other way. It gave me the opportunity to start a new chapter in my life with a clear mind, a set intention for the new year and most importantly, a feeling/knowing that this year, 2015, was going to get its balls kicked by yours truly, Natallia Tera Nemes & Shit101.com!
So watch out 2015. I’m not fucking joking. :)
Cheers!
Lessons I’ve Learned in 2014:
- Just because my path in life doesn’t look like the ones around me, doesn’t mean I’m not exactly where I’m suppose to be. ;)
- People change. Things change. And so do you. And that’s okay, it’s called life. So stop making such a big deal about that shit and move the fuck on so that you can enjoy your life. #geez
- No one is exempt from feeling pain, sadness, loneliness, etc. It’s apart of life. But when you reach out to the people who love you during those times, there is an outpour of love on a whole other level and that is where one of the best treasures in life is hidden.
- I am braver and stronger than I ever thought I was. I just had to learn to not listen to the haters, naysayers and all the other motherfuckers who want to rain on my parade. #fuckem
- Life is better when you are laughing. So no matter what it is you are going through, make it a priority to laugh every day. If you are having a hard time finding laughter, I always find that a margarita and a swing set always does the trick! Hollar!
