A New Year, A New You and whole load of New Gossip.

Suddenly, almost as soon as the clock strikes midnight, everything you heard, thought or felt last year becomes... well, very last year. Who care's about the guy you like and the girl next door? That's soooo last year, darling. Why does it matter that your best friend has gained 9 pounds? It's a NEW freaking YEAR! But is it truly that easy to let go, move on, forget, and never look back... without regret? Is that 'fresh start' really so fresh? Or are your new years resolutions as stale as the bread used in those oh-so-kitsh turkey sandwiches?

The countdown is over and people are buzzing with anticipation. Because, the year is young, and the prospects of finally quitting smoking or learning the guitar may excite even the less motivated of humans. I believe, the secret to persuing and succeeding in this promises we make to ourselves, no matter what time of year, is to take one small step at a time. Because when you look back, you'll be a hell of a lot further then when you started! Concentrate on one little target to achieve your dream goal. For instance, my resolution was to be a nicer person in general and my first target was to stop being so DAMN nosey! First, i refrained from commenting on other peoples conversations. Then, I found myself not listening all together. However, this lead to a lack of juicy juicy (harmless) gossip. So I moved on and started giving more hugs. Everyone likes hugs, right? Right!

Now, about the looking back. Picture it. Your high high up on a rickety bridge over a canyon. The voice in your head says 'don't look down, bitch! Don't look down!' So what do you do? Look down, far down to the potential painful death you could experience if you don't keep moving! I see it like this; look back on mistakes helps us learn, move on and keep chugging along until we are far enough way to either not remember or not care. It's as simple as that.
