My New Year’s List – Memes
Every year, we find ourselves scribbling down a New Year’s listโstuff we want, stuff we think we need. For me? My New Year’s list this year (and every year, honestly) has one recurring theme: travel, travel, travel, and, oh yeah, money for travel. I mean, how can I not?
Think about it. Socks? Boring. Fancy tech? Meh, it gets outdated. But a plane ticket? Thatโs the gift that keeps givingโmemories, stories, and letโs be real, Instagram-worthy moments.
Honestly, if travel isnโt on your list, are you even living?
The Philosophy Behind โTravelโ
You know that funny quote, โTravel is the only thing you buy that makes you richerโ? Turns out, itโs true. Every time I step onto a plane, train, or even a tuk-tuk, I feel like Iโm cashing in on experiences instead of things. Because letโs face it, things fade. But the memory of eating street food in Bangkok or sipping espresso in Rome? Eternal.
Plus, travel is the one thing that forces you to live in the moment. When you’re hiking a trail in New Zealand or watching the northern lights in Iceland, you’re not thinking about work deadlines or that awkward thing you said at a party five years ago. Youโre just… there.
And honestly, thatโs better than any gadget or ugly sweater Aunt Susan might bring.
Travel as the Ultimate Meme Material
Now letโs spice things up with some humor because, letโs be real, whatโs a conversation without some funny quotes and memes? New Year’s shopping memes are all over the place, like โItโs all fun and games until your credit card statement arrives.โ Yep, thatโs me booking flights.
Or how about those hilarious quotes like โI want a magical New Year’s, but not the โmax out my credit cardโ kind of magic.โ Except, oops, I maxed it out. For travel. No regrets.
Seriously, though, my New Year’s list looks less like a wishlist and more like a Pinterest board of dreamy destinations. And if anyone sends me one of those funny New Year’s memes about staying home for the holidays, Iโll passively-aggressively send back a funny saying like, โWhy stay home when you can eat pasta in Italy?โ
Why Money for Travel?
Now, letโs address item five on my list: money for travel. Itโs not about being greedy; itโs about funding dreams. If I had a dollar for every time someone asked, โWhy do you travel so much?โ I could probably afford a ticket to Bora Bora.
Money isnโt just about buying stuff; itโs about freedom. Freedom to roam, explore, and book those cheap flights that magically appear when you least expect them. You know that meme, โTake my money, airlines!โ Yeah, I live it.
So, yes, money for travel is a totally legit New Year’s wish. Besides, who needs another scented candle? (Spoiler: not me.)
New Year’s Isnโt About Stuff
New Year’s has become a frenzy of materialism, hasnโt it? Cue the best New Year’s memes about last-minute shopping and overcrowded malls. But for me, itโs never been about things. Itโs about experiences.
Iโd rather spend New Year’s in a snow-covered chalet in Switzerland or sunbathing on a beach in Bali. Sorry, Hallmark, but Iโm rewriting the cozy New Year’s clichรฉ with a passport and a backpack.
If you ask me, โWhatโs the best gift?โ Iโd say, โA plane ticket.โ Every. Single. Time. Or even better, a funny New Year’s card with money inside labeled, โFor travel, not avocado toast.โ
A Final Word
So hereโs my pitch to Universeโor anyone willing to fund my wanderlust: I donโt want more โstuff.โ I want experiences, memories, and the occasional laugh-worthy moment. Throw in a few hilarious quotes, maybe a funny meme about airports, and weโve got the perfect gift combo.
And if anyoneโs reading this and thinking, โWow, she really went all in on the travel thing,โ I have one response: Why not?
Lifeโs short. The world is big. And frankly, nothing beats the joy of flipping through a passport filled with stampsโexcept maybe a hilarious New Year’s meme to keep me company on the flight.
Happy New Year’s, and happy travels, my friends.
