A New Year
And just like magic, a new year settles in. I’m not sure how I feel about this whole restarting thing. I suppose it is nice to set goals and change things up a bit, trying to improve and renew yourself. But I don’t think I really like moving on, in all honesty. I like to hold on tight to moments, to days, to even years. It breaks my heart to see it all pass so soon. Maybe that’s a pessimistic way to look at it. Like New Year’s Eve is just some sort of funeral for the passing year, like it’s dead. Of course I already know that and that New Year’s Eve is a celebration of the future and what’s to come and everything that the new year brings. So why dumb it down when it should be something exciting and wonderful?
Hey Jena! This made me gets the feels in a good way. I love the vivid picture of it in my mind. Nicely done! <3
ReplyDeletei related to this and you put it into great words
ReplyDeletei loved how you compared new years eve to a funeral, really poetic.
ReplyDeleteRelatable
ReplyDeleteThat was really good. I liked the whole message. I know that my mom said, "the new year should be good but I liked 2016 and I'm sad to see it go." I feel like what you have said is true for a lot of different people. Thanks for sharing and just remember that the adventure comes from the mystery.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate when you said you hold tight onto moments. Because i do the exact same. I loved this so much!
