The new year means nothing. Everyone talks about having a chance to start over and stuff, but it never made sense to me. It just means that I write different numbers down whenever I'm writing the date. That doesn't change things. It doesn't make my problems go away. Things aren't magically the way I want them to be. It doesn't fix friendships and relationships. It doesn't make these thoughts and memories leave my head.
I don't make new years resolutions because I make decisions to change things all year round. Whenever I need to fix something, get rid of something, start doing something, or whatever, I just do it. I don't wait for a new year to start. That just seems stupid to me.
There is no such thing as a new beginning. I can't go back and do things differently. I have to roll with whatever I have.
Now, if a new calendar year is enough to get people motivated to accomplish something, than awesome. I wont discourage them. But we all know that few people actually follow through with their new years resolutions.
On another note, I am looking forward to certain parts of 2011. As a whole, I have the sense that 2011 will be a pretty mundane year. I don't foresee many crazy awesome things happening. But I am looking forward to buying a car, going to college, and stuff like that. I also have this new knowledge of who I am, so I can be a much more confident and secure person.
