It's that time again. A new year has begun and I don't think I am remotely capable of being able to comprehend this last year and the changes that have taken place. I know I am not alone in this, which brings at least a little bit of comfort. Comfort isn't the right word. Ease, maybe. That might not be it either...
This last year has left me drained. It's crazy how much can change in a year, in a moment even. I'm not going to go into detail of what this last year has meant to me, I can't find the words for it. It wouldn't make sense and there are things that I have been trying to bury that I hope I can do with the hope of a new year.
The beginning of the new year has always been interesting to me. Not because of the date, but the reaction to it. Everyone makes resolutions and promises to themselves that they are going to change. Usually promises that they won't keep. It's odd to me. How can people keep promises to others if they can't keep the ones they make to themselves? I have never been one for making resolutions, maybe I don't even trust myself haha.
I guess I don't understand why people have to wait for the new year to do something new and extraordinary to their lives. It's like we wait for the excuse to change. To wait until it is a little more acceptable to change. I don't know why people wait and put off something they think would be good for them in the long run. Why wait? If I have learned anything this year it is that life is unpredictable and to take control of what you can.
Oh, what would a blog post be like from me if it wasn't rambling nonsense? I guess that isn't going to be something that changes this year. At least not yet.
Anyway, to continue the tradition... This time of year I put together a
soundtrack of my last year. Earlier last month I started trying putting
together a playlist and I will be honest, it has been a struggle. So, I probably won't explain why these songs are on here. I hope you enjoy it at least a little.
And don't take it too seriously... And it isn't in any particular order.
