I'm very apathetic about this year. Not to say that I'm in a slump or rut, but I don't think that this year will be very different from the last, except maybe for the fact that I'll get one year older and the cost of my car insurance will go down a little bit.
Last year, I don't think that many exciting things happened. My day to day existence was predictable and mundane. I knew what was going to happen during the day and what would happen when I got home that night. Work was work and the weekends were exactly what I expected.
Granted, I did changed things up a little; forcing myself out of the routine by going out and meeting other people. Of course, this didn't end well in any of the situations so encountered. Still, it was something.
What about the future? Will I continue to age all alone and get more and more bitter at the world? Or will I somehow encounter a miracle that changes the direction of my life irrevocably? I don't know if luck exists for it's own sake or if we make our own. Nor do I know if fortune really favors those prepared for it. I do know, however, that in order to make things happen, we at least need to take a step or two in the direction that we want to go... If we know where we want to go, that is.
This year is going to be different. My resolution is to take any chances and opportunities that I get, consequences be damned. I passed up too many good things last year by worrying about the consequences and thinking to much into things. I'm going to let loose a little this year. If something good comes along, I'm going to sink my teeth into it as deep as I possibly can, and hold on for dear life. If something proves unattainable, well, persistence pays off, right?
