New Blog

New Year, New Blog!

I felt like moving away from my lovely black and have something diametrically opposing it. This change can be a metaphor of sorts, but I think it was mainly because my eyes are getting worse, and it would be unfortunate if I could not even read my own blog.

But, yes, metaphors they may be.

A couple of days ago, I had toasted to the year that was, that made us who we are today. So I looked back.

2006. This time last year, I was mainly troubleshooting: my life, my feelings, my mistakes, just trying to bring things back to the way they were, even if I was desperate for a change. I was doing that, oblivious, of course, of the leap of faith that I would be making in the next couple of months. And change came when I least expected it.

It was a battle, 2006 was. It was a battle of trying to prove that I've grown. It was a battle against myself and everyone around me. I don't know if I already won the battle, but certainly, victory would be sweet, and I am already filled with its aroma.

Glass half empty, glass half full. It's just a matter of how you look at it. For 2006, I couldn't say. Because I'm certain I definitely saw it as both, and both at the same time. And now that I'm looking at it, now that I'm in 2007, the glass just got bigger. So really, I couldn't say.

So I move away from my lovely black to the diametrically opposing white. I'm turning around. In 2006, I got comfortable. I pray, and I will definitely try to make it happen, that 2007 will be an exclamation point, even if the sentence has not ended.
