In celebrating the New Year, I used to celebrate BECAUSE it was the New Year, new beginnings, changes and what the next year holds. Now I celebrate for a different reason: for all the accomplishments I did in the past year. Close some chapters, started some new ones, made new friends, have stronger bonds with the friends I still have, tried new things, did old things, anything I did the past year that meant something meaningful, I will always hold those memories close to me.

I can't party like I used to (I CAN but don't need to). New Years is a time of reflection and a reminder of what can be done in a year. How much change you can make and how it can change you (hopefully) all for the better.

Been finding myself using the internet less and less. And I feel better about it! I'm not looking at pictures or art of others doing things I want to do and feeling depressed. I tend to get jealous when others' lives are better than my own - then I get depressed because I'm not doing anything about it. I'm not feeling that when I'm off the webs for a day or so.

Rather concentrating on what others are doing, I'm gonna concentrate on what I'M doing. Start looking in hindsight. So much time is wasted when I have plenty to do. Procrastinate much? Yes, quite a bit. If I could just spend 30 minutes a day on a relaxing walk, it could change my whole demeanor. Stop making excuses and just do something. Make it a habit unlike that unhealthy one I do. Slowed down a whole lot, though. Which is a start, now I need to finish it.

Happy New Year to all! Make something of it.
