#balance2013
New year's resolutions never really worked for me. It's either I don't make any or I forget them all the following morning. I never used to believe that a new year meant a renewed chance to be a better person. I always thought I should be a better person at my own pace; no year can dictate who and what I am supposed to be. But that was before.
I guess I see it all now. I haven't been the best person. A part of me hates myself, actually. I know the things I have done, said, and thought of that never benefited me once. I regret the opportunities I have missed out on the past year and I do not wish to make the same mistakes again. I want to be better. I can be better. I told myself that this is going to be my year and I won't let it start and end idly. That can't happen anymore. No.
This year I have decided to create balance - something I should have been doing for the past 3 years. "Priorities will always be priorities" but that can't always be. If I can, I will; And this year, I will. I don't want to say the things I have lined up because I don't want to jinx it but as I go along, and as I accomplish it one by one, I will let the world know how proud I am of myself.
Looking back at the past year, I guess it served as a preparation. Or I can be more creative and say that in the past year, I ran for 366 days with a torch in my hand, ready to light that cauldron waiting to signal a new face. The first day of the year is almost coming to an end. Let this serve as an oath.
Let the year begin. I say it's time.
