The 20/20 of Hindsight. Or: The Alarm that Can't be Dismissed

And here's to the New Year!  Already?!  Yup.  2013 is a wrap and boy... does it not really matter.  Honestly, New Year is just a societal construct.  Keeps the days (another construct) in order and allows a neat timely cycle for seasons and an attempt to have a hand in controlling time.  (Philosophical enough for ya?!)  Why does the New Year not matter?  Because nothing REALLY changes.  Not physically.  Our minds might believe an adjust meant has occurred, but days, as they are, are days.  The New Year, as it is, could happen at any point in time, and nothing would fall out of place.  Resolutions and promises of personal change fail for this exact reason; if you won't change your life at any other point, why would a new year matter?  It doesn't!  No even a little.  And, even if it did, why wait?  Anything worth having is worth waiting for. but given the severity and difficulty that comes with change, what's the point in enduring a faulty way of life for another moment, much less days, weeks, or months until the next year begins?

Anyway, here we are still, on the eve of the full calenders rollover pondering the next moment to come.  Me, I'm looking forward to tomorrow, as I looked forward to today and yesterday.  That is the thing that I shall bring with me into the future.  I take now, only the good and remembering the bad, into tomorrow and shall soldier on towards making each day as much better than the last.  No big changes, lies, that I planned months ago to look forward to, only tomorrow for whatever it shall be.  And, that's enough.  Shit happened, good, bad, and meh, as it does every year, and, most importantly, I DIDN'T DIE!  I call that a win!

So, here's to every tomorrow to come and whatever it holds within!

CHEE-YA!!! BITCHES
