New year rant.

New year yet again. It amazes me seeing the liberation posts, new year-new me posts, satirical remarks on the previous year, tryina-be-cool remarks and the status screen being filled with almost the same facts in different lingos. There are 4 kinds of people: The common types are the ones who'd post the uplifting and motivating posts about the new year while not believing or sometimes not even reading their own posts. Second types are the ones who call this year worse than the previous one and rue the type one people, often calling for self pity or derogating the current year. Third comes the type who accept that the new year is simply a day, with a chance to improve upon the deeds of the previous year and genuinely appreciate the fact that they've been given a new leaf to start over. They are the rarest of people and can be recognized as ones who post the minimal posts and wish their close ones with a personal touch. Fourth are the ones who'd make a broadcast list and send the new year messages to everyone, not caring to see whether they got a reply or not, but just to show their goodwill and maintaining contacts. It's not cool per se, infact sending your choicest wishes to the selected ones would do, frankly speaking the majority of people won't even expect your new year wishes and neither do they care, returning back with a cliche new year picture with balloons and stuff.
No, I'm not at all pessimistic about the new year, but it's just that all the superficiality of these antics take the life away from the new year and makes it even hard to appreciate and think about our own goals and expectations from the new year. Nobody goes through the achievements and disappointments of the past year to learn from it, everyone just gets ready by writing pre formed messages and hoarding photos to send as soon as the clock turns 12. It's okay to have a late new year wish, once you're done with premeditation of the past year and sending handcrafted words to the ones that really matter is quintessential. Seeing your close ones just forwarding the standard messages is downright disappointing, not to mention that it makes you feel less important in their lives. I just want everyone to appreciate the new year, and strive to improve, not just for themselves, but also for others. New year is a day to bond over and mend friendships and make them stronger, to celebrate the gift of time that we've been given and to celebrate the new aspirations and hopes that we have from the new year, while being happy and understanding the highs and lows of the past year.
 Stop posting statuses unless you understand them, stop giving wishes unless you mean them, everyday can be a new year if you wish to make it so, every minute can lease a breath of fresh air if you care to feel it, every second can be a like a gift of god if you care to utilize it.
Happy new year everyone. Hope you shine bright and hope the veil of darkness gets lifted from everyone and everybody sees new year with a new light.
