Try a night in when everyone is out. Try a formal gala ticketed event with a date or group of friends. Attend house parties with different groups of friends. Figure out your own style of celebration that brings you the most joy. Before you know it another year will pass but THIS YEAR you will know exactly where you want to be and who you want sitting next to you.
So it's January, month #1 of 2016. Where do you want to be on New Year's Eve next year? Who do you want to be with and how do you want to celebrate? Identify the who, how and where you want to be for the big night next year.
What I do know, after much trial and error, THIS YEAR is only what you make it to be. The only way to have a Happy New Year's Eve is to be HAPPY. A new day or new year will not make a new you and simply making resolutions is not going to fix everything - especially you. If you don't know how to be happy, I guarantee you a party will not be the answer. And while there is no formula that is right for everyone, you can start by taking baby steps to discover how you like to enjoy yourself, from the people you surround yourself to the venue and even style of dress. Have dress rehearsals now and really take the time to determine what makes you feel your best.
