well, christmas is over and another year's passed. (almost) it really blows my mind how fast time passes, but at the same time, i feel like pulling my hair out at how slow time passes. isn't that ironic? no it really isn't.

so anyways, i got to thinking about this year and next year and i got this tingly feeling. this year is going to be a good year. i can feel it. and i am so ready for this. it's as if, for once, i've accumulated enough wisdom and life's lessons, to get me through this coming year without any scratches or bumps. that's not to say i won't run into any obstacles this year, but when i think about it as a whole, it's gonna be good.  maybe it's because i've finally taken off my green tinted glasses and i'm finally seeing things as they are. you know, i've been taking everything with a passive attitude lately, i've stopped caring, and i've stopped holding grudges, simply because it takes too much strength to remember every singly grudge and pissoff. you can't control everything, and you can't understand everyone, and most of all, you can't please everyone, so why try? i can't even begin to put in words how free and refreshing this feels. i'm so determined to hit the ground running this year, start everything on the right foot, and i'm gonna get it all right.

so much for nuclear weapons, huh?
