A New Year...

Ah, the memories I have of this day. From my teenage years, all the way until today. I can remember being so drunk that I didn't neven know it was New Years's, and then the next year, spending it alone, wondering where I had gone wrong. New Year's Eve is a cleansing holiday to me. It symbolizes another year over, and a few new one that is to come. A new year- a new chance to make things right. A chance to change, a chance to grow, a chance to live a better life. Every year, we make resolutions that are typically broken within a few months if not weeks. It's fun, just to see how many you can stick with. Typically, the only ones I've ever stuck with, are the one's that really counted. This year, I want to live more spontaneously, to go where I want to go, whenever I want to- after all, I live in New York City! There's so much to do, and so little time!

I want to lighten up. Life was meant to be lived. It's time I stopped taking every little thing so seriously. Finally, I want to be a better person. I want to give of myself to others, to make things a little better for those around me.

I don't think those are unreasonable things to strive for- and things that I can attain if I keep myself open to new ideas and focused. I plan on going out tonight and living. I don't know where I'll be celebrating tonight, or who with, but I know this much, I'll make the most of my evening, wherever I am. I will live life to the fullest tonight!
