2020 is a scam!

I remember how in the December of 2018, I made a long list of new year resolutions. It looked something like this:

Go out more.
Write more.
Increase your CGPA.
Publish your books.
Dress classier/ change your wardrobe.
Be more social. And many more that I can't recall now.

If I'm being extremely honest, I'll tell you I basically forgot those resolutions(lies as my friend, Grace calls them😹) before the end of January.

Ok, I think i actually achieved the first one, I went out more, I even traveled the world. Well..... In my dreams anyways. I basically stopped writing for a while. My CGPA is a whole other story. Trust me, that dream has finally ended in tears. My books are still on my phone, very much unpublished and I did dress classier. Yes, i was mandated to do so in those places I visited in my dreams. As far as being more social goes, I'll tell you the truth, 2019 was the most friendless year of my life, except you count the TV series that kept me company though.

At this point, you're probably wondering where the title of this article comes in. Calm down, a little patience please, this article is jollof rice I'm preparing. It takes quite some time to get done but it's definitely worth it at the end. I'm sorry if I just made you hungry. The thing is, I'm hungry too😹. Ok sorry, someone can't play with you guys again?

Seeing as 2020 is a year, same as any other, with the same twelve months, I'd like to break it to you that the notion of automatically having a new life in 2020 is the biggest scam ever! 2020 is not going to change unless you lay the foundation for it to do so in 2019.
The truth is, the shift from December 31st to January 1st happens by 12am, same as it would any other day.
I'm not going to dispute the fact that there's a certain allure to the first of January. The same kind that makes you think that maybe Cinderella is not the only one who is capable of having a fairy godmother. Let me break this to you as gently as possible; THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU!!!!
Don't wait till the clock strikes 12 before you run away from toxicity. Leave bad energy today!

You want glowing skin in 2020? Stop using the same pillow case for one month without washing it, you, yes I'm talking to you. Start a skincare regimen and visit the demartologist.

You want a banging body in 2020? Start realizing that boredom and hunger are two different concepts, start working out and get a better diet plan.
You want to leave the 'God when' association? Define the situationships you're currently in, ask that bestie you've been crushing on for God knows how long out and shoot your shot!!!!!

You want to be more social? Leave your comfort zone, make new friends, slide into as many DMs as you can handle and stop being the furniture in your house.
The list goes on and on. Be like Nike and just do it✅.
I think it's finally time to reiterate the title of this article;
2020 will only be a scam if you don't lay a good foundation for it now.
The only thing I'm definitely sure 2020 is not going to disappoint me with however, is new year rice!
Merry Christmas in advance 💃
2020, God no go shame us💪.
