New year, new slate?

I have never been in a epiphany mood before until now. I suppose as we all grow older, we seem to realize that the best we can do about New Year Resolutions is that we will actually follow them. We place these goals that we never get to, and if we do, we have nothing else to work for after that. So why not every day be a New Years Day? Why not have a simpler resolution? And that my friend, is my epiphany.

Instead of making the goal to lose weight, or to get back into drawing, or to get closer to people, I've realized that the only thing that I know that I will accomplish is by living for tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow, not today. Because today is always the result of tomorrow's plans. I guess you could say we should've known this all along, and that we should've sat down and actually thought about ours. But as I grow older, I realize that all of my resoultions were always about someone else, and never about me.

So this year, it's about me. And it's enhancing who I am and making sure I grow from all of the experiences that fate has thrown me. I enjoy this resolution plan namely because that's what I've been doing all along, and I can do it, and the best part? It's a never ending goal. There is always something that can be changed, and it's a personal growth experience. As I sit her on a Saturday night, dreading to go back to school, I realize that I miss my friends.

.. And that I will definitely give them the postcards when I see them... besides the friends who live out of state. I should really go do that, h-uh?
