Not "New year, New me". But rather New year, Same me.

[Shanm2]

As the famous saying goes, "New year, new me" and if that works for you then thats great. But for me, It 'same me' but perhaps better, healthier, happier. Because there's nothing wrong with being the same person, and there never really was, even if i believed it for so long.

I just neglected myself, because putting others needs before mine, seemed like the 'right' thing to do. I have a long way to go, and alot of work to do, but i know that hopefully with abit of patience, faith and reliance, i can do/be those things as mentioned above.

Wishing you all a happy New year and wishing you much happier times ahead

Take care,

Stay strong. X

I love it! You are beautiful. I also want to take better care of myself too. I can’t be a super hero anymore I’m exhausted from giving of myself and not taking the time I need to recharge. I think I’d like to spend more time in nature, where I feel more myself.

Thank you! You are also beautiful and wonderful! Heres to trying to take better care of ourselves! I too, find comfort in nature, or more sunsets particularly and find that it brings me peace and so i hope you can spend more time outside, enjoying you being you in those moments 😊

Wishing all the best! And i hope you are well!

Awesome! Wish we could go on a nature walk together. I plan on going tomorrow even if it raining. I’m well today , hope you are too. What else can we do to take care? I know for me I need to use my phone less.

for me its a new year same boring and lame ass depressed human being

[Shanm2]

You're not lame, or an ass and definitely not both.

What i have learnt so far is that the mind is often the best place to start and one small positive thing a day, helps. Even if that's brushing teeth or having a shower, its small, but its positive.

Boring would suggest that the same thing happens, (i relate to that!) And so perhaps stepping outside and doing something different or doing something again that you've lost interest in.

Depression loves to squish these types of things (i know) but kick its butt!"Depressed human being" just a gentle reminder that you are a human being and to not feel okay is okay.

I'm sorry you are feeling/felt this way, and i hope that things get better for you in this coming year.

Stay strong, you've got this.
