Firstly, let me start off by saying thank you. I know we haven’t met yet. We may not be fully acquainted but I want to clear any unsettled air. Though, to be fair there shouldn’t be any animosity between us – definitely not yet, as your younger processor? 2016 was fantastic for me. Looking back I’ve been so grateful for half the amazing and unplanned things that happened. So yes, the bar has been set high, but success and happiness can only continue to grow.
So why am I writing to you? What do I want from 2017? If I’m honest, I want security. I want to know although things change and life isn’t a bed of roses I’ll be secure. These are ambiguous things. My happiness, health/fitness, family, financial status I want this to be secure. I want to continue to grow. 2016 I turned 23 and although the age is deemed ‘irrelevant’ each day I’m realising more and more about myself and want the journey to continue into 2017 and beyond.
I’ve travelled to 5 countries this year, and although to some, they aren’t the most exotic as some of the other travel bloggers that have managed to pack up and leave their comfortable 9-5 but hey I’ve enjoyed myself. I’m not in the place yet and don’t feel the need to leave my job as it doesn’t restrict me from travelling. I love the comfort of coming home even after a girl’s party holiday or just a relaxing tour around Barcelona. But I hope you’re ready for the trips that we’re going to have in 2017 because the travel bug hasn’t left me just yet. I did leave a dead-end job though – which took me a while to realise how much I am genuinely worth. Without bigging myself out, life is definitely greener on the other side. I landed myself something way more sophisticated, and always felt like bloggers who magically landed jobs straight after they’ve left – but seriously speak things into existence and you’ll be amazed at how things change positively.
For the first time in ages, I’m happy and excited about all aspects of my life. I’m not great at content, because the content isn’t a feeling I want to experience in 2017. I want to be left striving for more as this journey is just beginning and the peak is not near.
So, I’ll answer my question to you 2017 – I don’t want anything from you, but here is what I expect, and what you’ll want from me. You’ll need me so that you can be a memorable year. You want to go into the record books and be remembered for greatness. All the amazing things that happened in 2017, (positively) life-changing. You want peace, love and happiness yes – but you also want spontaneous adventures. You want to look back on memories no matter how old with friends but you want to do things that are sincere and natural to you. So I expect no hatred, expect to be respected as long as my views do not harm anyone my freedom of speech will always be shared.
Yours faithfully,
2016 Georgina xo
