As we look back on the year 2008, we recall all the experiences, the relationships we've fostered (even up till the very last minute), the lessons we've learnt, lessons we've not learnt, and so on. The old habits die hard, especially when you have a sentimental heart, but... But, that's what the new year is all about. New beginnings, new journeys. New mistakes, new heartaches. New tragedies, and new resolutions. I'm not a 'glass-is-half-full' kinda guy, so I don't look forward to anything. And I don't look forward to doing anything either. Because, it's like wringing out the last few drops, just to reach the brim. Not that I look forward to reaching the brim either. It doesn't make me a hypocrite, but could mean either one of 2 things. First, I spill the glass I have now, or, I have water left over. Come this time next year, we'll see.
Luckily for people like me, we learn things along the way. Things that colour our water. Things that amuse us. Like, having our first kiss. Unfortunately (sorry to disappoint), people like us have to wait a much longer time for our next one, much like how school is starting this year. At least there are lessons like these that could satisfy our every fantastic, impulsive whim of a notion of what we'd rather learn, other than Complex Numbers and the Brewster's angle. I mean, where else can you learn to close your eyes when you kiss someone? Do you think looking cross-eyed is going to get you the girl/guy?
Which is why I say here's to all who take in everything life has to offer, and colour their water, so that when everyone reaches the brim, it doesn't become about who got there first, it's who made the most of it.
