Yore

Draven

A new year

A new day

A new time to set goals

And reassess your life

 

It's actually bullshit

Guess what?

You can actually do that ANY old day.

 

But sometimes starting something new on the 1st of January

symbolises something.

Something you've been putting off for years

or perhaps running away from.

 

Whereas the Hollee of yore would have said,

"Fuck this, who needs goals"

Present Hollee decided to open her eyes

and be open to see something new.

    Of course we can start again any old time but how many of us as your piece states need a kick up the backside and some resolutions fit the bill at this time of year methinks - a great read Draven.

      Thank you!

      I'm having a good chuckle at your accompanying comment.

      Yep I agree, doesn't matter which day you start. I recall the first time i heard the following phrase how uplifting it felt "tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life"

      • Draven

        Haha, too true, this is a very uplifting phrase. It can happen at any time!

      • Rozina

        Yes, same old same old. Symbolic that's all. You've just reminded me there's something I need to do - have put it off every year! Thanks!

            Thanks for reminding me that I can do this any old day.
