It\u2019s the prospect of a clean slate and the opportunity for new adventures that excite. Sadly, end of the year chatter often focuses on pending resolutions for the upcoming year and whether or not resolutions were kept for the outgoing year. I propose that people commit to the simplest and most rewarding resolution: Be Happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you just spent the holidays with friends, odds are that you and your friend were the only single ones at the table. The always-expected but the never-warranted question of if you\u2019ve found someone yet gets asked. You wanted to throw a snarky comment but instead bit your lip and nodded no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the answer may have been the same year after year, it\u2019s inevitable it\u2019s still going to be asked. In 2021, we\u2019re shooting for a different response than 2020 produced. In fact, let\u2019s set a course where the introduction of your holiday guest will turn more heads than the host&#8217;s perfectly cooked dinner. Let\u2019s be more than happy; let\u2019s share happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While happiness is different for everyone, we can all agree that having someone to enjoy it with enhances the delight. Have you ever been so excited to share the great news with someone, only to realize that every voicemail reached means they\u2019re caught up in the hustle and bustle of their own daily lives? Have you found yourself wishing you had someone to share all of your excitement, goals, and dreams with over that homemade or takeout dinner each night?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, luckily for us, it\u2019s 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, we all know that it\u2019s 2021 and that I\u2019m still single. Get to the point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The point is that you don\u2019t have to be. We\u2019re all on the same page that online dating is very much happening. I mean, an online service where there is bachelor(ette)\u2019s bestowed upon you? No need to pinch; this isn\u2019t a dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mean to tell you, that you too, can find your long-awaited somebody to share your aspirations with over dinner. Get this- they\u2019re happy to hear all about your day- whether it was amazing or exasperating. And if they\u2019re not, they do an excellent job at pretending they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2026Wait? You mean there is *actually* someone who WANTS to hear my passionate rants without wanting to rip their ear off? *pinch*<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I TOLD YOU THERE IS<strong> NO<\/strong> NEED TO PINCH!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let 2021 be the year where you\u2019re not the only single guest at the holiday dinner. In fact, let 2021 be the year where your significant other is brought to the beach house. That\u2019s right-<em> summer love.<\/em> Hold on to that resolution of happiness. Do everything in your power each day to contribute towards the things you deserve, whether love through an online dating service, that \u201cI just bumped into a beautiful human on the street and I\u2019m going to date them\u201d love, or if you\u2019re looking to do some inner work- the love you share with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us start 2021 with a clean slate and those long-awaited opportunities and adventure. Let us reflect on all that 2020 had to offer, and all that 2021 will bring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beauty of a new year is that it undeniably brings a chance for new beginnings.
