For the cowgirls

COWGIRLIN’

by Sydney Schotts

A new year = new possibilities

January is so bittersweet to me. January is the perfect time to become in tune with all the new goals you have created for yourself, but for people who can’t stand being cold all the time, and feel like the days just drag on, it’s kind of a downer.

I know some people say New Years resolutions are cheesy and such but for me I think setting new goals and achievable hills to climb, can be quite helpful especially for the January blues. This year my goals have been centered around starting to live out my full potential. From self love, to working on COWGIRLIN’, I want to really dial in on watering the flowers of the garden of my happiness. I take it for granted how much I can do and accomplish via social media, and I feel like I’ve been bursting with ideas for so so long, what is stopping me from living them out?

I used to fear change and always told myself, “I don’t do well with change”. Then I realized, the person I was two years ago had no self confidence and was scared to even speak her mind. Now everyday, in everything I do I feel like I have been changed for good. I’m grateful for who I used to be, but if I had not recognized that my social anxiety was holding me back, I wouldn’t be where I am today. So even though change can be scary, change is good, and I actually do well with change. Perspective says everything. I feel like the me now would definitely be singing that song from wicked to the me I was two years ago, “but because I knew you, I have been changed, for good”. Lol.

Going into this new chapter as I’m getting older, I feel ready to face change and take everything as it is. New possibilities are so exciting, and as long as you don’t wear yourself out, working hard to get to new places, even just mentally, will be so worth it!

Overall I think this year has lots in store for me, and even if I’m not sure what exactly, I’m very excited. If you’re reading this just know that the goals you have set for yourself are possible, and to also not beat yourself up if it takes longer than you had planned. Everything happens for a damn good reason, which I really learned last year.

Thank you for reading! Heres to new beginnings :)
