A new year, a new way.

Yet another second, yet another day. Yet another year.
Here I see, here I breathe. Here I am.
And I find myself questioning my very existence. Here, yet again.

Like a wave from one side of the floor to the other, the christmas decorations are being pulled down from the ceiling at work today. One by one, thrown into a box to gather dust until the next festive season, when we'll get a little too merry and begin writing our next set (or should I say repeated set?) of resolutions.
The holiday passed far too quickly this year. Tree up, tree down, somewhere along the line a new year was rung in, and I forgot to resolve or resolute anything. My list remains blank and my focus fuzzy while the real recognition sets in - it *is* a fresh year, and I haven't vowed to make any changes. Yet.

People always make the same resolutions anyway - get rich, lose weight, find the love of your life without moving from the couch... but while these promises come into the world driven by passion and a veiled belief that they will come into fruition sooner rather than later, the reality is that we usually abandon them after a few days. The cake was too tempting, the work for the money too hard, and the lover non-existent.

So it is here when I feel cataclysmically compelled to define my goals to shape the year that I forget all together about making any resolutions per se. No, I am going to apply what I want to achieve to every pore of my being, and live on a one way path leading to my objective desires. I'm not promising I'll do something; I'm doing it. And if I'm not doing it right now, I will be.
It's my complete and utter belief in doing that will let me win the game, so I won't reach the end of another year without bringing upon change and upheaving my core at least a few times.

This year, I'm all about experience - I'll say yes as often as I can and enrich my life with enriching things. This year, I'm foraying into new ventures - uni, a typical uni job, french, dance, the musical and other unmapped islands.
It's the buried treasure I'm after. Yet another.
