the new year

well, it finally came as it always does. Unlike previous year, I stayed home the last night of year by myself. I didn't feel like getting out celebrating what seemed like a dull repeat of what I had been doing, only to see nothing much had changed. I'm hoping this year is different. I have made no promises to myself what I must do (no new year resolutions or anything of that kind) since I think it just puts more pressure on myself and so gives myself more reason to procrastinate. I can afford to do that anymore. Next year is too important a year for me to waste and drink away like I did this year. Let's see what this years brings.
