Begin the Begin

Fresh starts thanks to the calendar they happen every year —just set your watch to January, our reward for surviving the holiday season is a new year. Bringing on the great tradition of new years resolutions, put your past behind you and start over. It’s hard to resist the chance of a new beginning, a chance to put the problems of last year to bed.

All I want is for 2010 to end on a good note. A month away before 2010 ends, i can't help but look back at this year and reflect. I realised that I have a lot of good things going on for me, I also have a lot of unpleasant things. But that's life, isn't it? When you choose to look past certain things (negative, unhappy) and not talk about it, what does that mean? That you are just contended the way it is right now or you can't simply be bothered?  Some things in life are worth holding on to, some are not. And I wonder, what are the determining factors for that? 


Maybe I am contented the way things are right now... And hey, one of the best things that happened to me is moving here. Reason being.... that's only for me to know. 



Who gets to determine when the old ends and the new begins? It’s not on the calendar, it’s not a birthday, it’s not a new year, it’s an event —big or small, something that changes us, ideally it gives us hope, a new way of living and looking at the world, letting go of old habits, old memories. What's important is that we never stop believing we can have a new beginning, but it's also important to remember amid all the crap are a few things really worth holding on to.
