old/new

It's been quite a while. And time changes a lot of things.

On the flip side, a lot of other things remain good, as they have been all this while. I still have a job that I'm (relatively) happy with. I still have a shelter over my head. The wheels still cart me around well. Manchester United is on top of the table. The macbook still works fine. My ipod is still more important than my phone. Good to know that some priorities will never change.

But it's a new year. With it comes new changes; some for better and some for worse. And then there are the changes that we can choose to make for ourselves. When you've tried so many other ways, it's probably time to turn a new page. Start something new. Crudely, you could say that it's just for the sake of starting something new.

Because new year or not, there are still things in life that take time. If the fireworks could change everything, I'd light the damn noisemakers myself. But they don't. And some days are still harder than others.

All we can do is to figure out each day as they come. If we can learn to see, albeit slowly, that things are getting better, then at least it doesn't need to be dark all the time.
