			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t really believe in new year resolutions. I mean, if you wanted to make something happen, it doesn&#8217;t matter when you make it, as long as you follow through. <strong>But</strong> I thought I should just write this entry for a future self. More importantly, for you since I want to spread this positive state of mind around. <img src='http://nanyate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>In the new decade, I want to:</p>
<h2>Keep learning</h2>
<p>There are so many things in the world and I only got a few decades left to learn them all. So I hope I will never become a pompous fool and stop learning. </p>
<h2>Share the love</h2>
<p>I love being with people. I love meeting new people. I love forging stronger bonds with people. It brings meaning to my life. It brings meaning to people&#8217;s lives. Sure, there will be times when it will drain me but I still hope I will never stop believing in love. </p>
<p>After all, love is a powerful energy that can bring out the best in society. </p>
<h2>Bring social back to social media</h2>
<p>I&#8217;m no expert in the social media field, and I&#8217;m not sure anyone can call himself one since this is a field in a constant state of evolution.</p>
<p>Recently, I noticed that social media has recently become more about money. So I&#8217;d like to help bring the social back to social media. Sure, you can make money but let&#8217;s not forget that it&#8217;s also a great avenue to widen your social circle. And a happy life isn&#8217;t all about materialistic goals. </p>
<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s the immaterial ones that will bring you the greatest joy. </p>
<h2>Balance work and life</h2>
<p>This might be difficult since it&#8217;s not entirely in my control. Since I started working a little over a year ago, I realized I never really took a break from work. A lot of times I gave up my sanity, my friends or my family for work. I need to learn to set the boundaries and balance my life better.</p>
<h2>Know and love myself</h2>
<p>As a third culture kid, I&#8217;ve had a hard time to come to terms with my identity. I always felt like I lacked a sense of belonging and a sense of self. </p>
<p>And as a person, I shunned my body for my thyroid problems. I shunned the little girl in me for wanting to be loved. I shunned the pride in me for never wanting to look weak in front of others. I shunned the anger in me for being uh&#8230; angry. </p>
<p>But recently, I&#8217;ve come to accept myself for who I am. And I&#8217;ve never been happier! No, it doesn&#8217;t mean I should become an angry, sick egotistic bitch. It means <strong>taking responsibility for my body, my mind and my soul.</strong></p>
<p>And I hope I never, ever forget that. <img src='http://nanyate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
