Every year, everyone eagerly awaits a particular day and looks forward to celebrating it. This day serves as a time scale that narrates the stories of every individual. It is an interesting combination and collaboration of the old and the new. It becomes even better if there are chances of intersections where the past year imprints memories and carries forward its experiences and lessons that avoid their unacceptable occurrence in the coming New Year.

No matter how wonderful or exceptional the previous year was, we all still look forward to welcoming the New Year and plan it well. The reason behind celebrating the year that is going to end someday lies in the Greek story about Pandora’s Box. The story states that even after releasing all the good and bad things into the world, there was one little yet most important thing that was released to balance their ratio: hope. Hope allows us to get going, pushes us to see the better, and provides the motive to live. It is the brightest star that guides our path when we are lost or when darkness arises. Hope is a tool to combat the bad and bring back the optimism that throbs in the heart of everlasting good things.

New Year is a celebration to see better things coming our way. It is a celebration of the victory we achieved by going through the past year, learning new lessons, carrying on with our old experiences, moving forward with a stronger version, and expecting that the candle of hope will never vanish. No matter how bad or even the worst year we could have, we don’t lose hope.

We keep the momentum going until the end of the year and eagerly wait for the New Year, the new beginnings, and the disguised blessings. This is the part of life where we wish things to change for us. We wish to change ourselves and see the better version of ourselves. It doesn’t really matter who you are, where you are from, or what you have done until this day in your life. The moment you start taking control of your life, making some New Year resolutions, and following them until you make them happen, that will define the kind of human you are. Therefore, New Year isn’t merely another year; it is the adjective ‘new’ that places the importance. What’s new that could be installed for you in the New Year? How are we going to make a difference in our life sphere or in others’ lives? All this depends on how we cherish the past and the coming New Year. What are we looking forward to in this New Year? What is that thing I am waiting for, and will I be able to achieve it in this year?
