Okay, if this weather doesn't end, I will commit suicide. Yes. I will. It's Seattle weather- dreary, cold, foggy- suicide central. I hate it a whole lot.
The arrival of the New Year amongst this depression is making me insufferebly emo. That, combined with the fact that I haven't left my house in a week (besides chicago, where I was with my mother anyway) has given me far too much time to think about what I want and need in this coming year. Sure, we can make the typical resolutions to lose weight and find a boyfriend, etc, etc, etc. But those are things everyone does. They don't really change our life dramatically per se. Maybe if you were insanely obese or if you found your soul mate- but let's face it a) I'm not that overwieght and b) no one finds their soul mate in high school.
The real way to reinvent your life in the New Year is to find new perspective on life. The way to do that is to start thinking outside your traditional little box. It's not as easy as it seems. You have to be unconventional, do things you wouldn't normally do. That doesn't necessarily mean being non-conformist, but rather perhaps just doing something on an individual basis. And no, I do not mean shoving an ice cream cone in a kid's face and yelling, "you remember me FOREVER!" It's just about doing things, for yourself and for others, that you haven't done before. Try everything once. Maybe be spontaneous.
I guess the one thing to do this year is to make the most of it. To suck the marrow out of life. To be a transparent eyeball and see everything the world has to offer while being unaffected by the materialism and vice in the world. To honestly live everyday as if it were the last. Because who knows- in 2006, your number just might be called.
