2010?
Wow.
Here I am, once more, writing on New Years Eve. Each year that goes by, I find myself caring less and less. I don't think big holidays really register for me anymore. So it's Christmas? Great. New Years? Ok, whatever.
New Years used to bother me. It used to make me sad. Very sad. That wasn't because I was alone, or missing anyone. It just made me sad that time was passing, and there was nothing I could do about it. I found myself wondering why the year went by so fast. I remember actually crying when 1999 became 2000. Why? That was a big change. I was being forced to leave the century I was born in behind. I still don't like the look of the 2000's. I much prefer 1900, or 1800, or even 1700. There's something too foreign about 2000 that I just don't like. But I don't really have a choice, so I've come to look forward to when the numbers change. It means a whole new chance to do everything over. A whole new year full of opportunities, adventures, hardships, knowledge, people, ect.
I always have to wonder where I'll be when this time of year comes. So far, it's always been at home. I was wondering last year if I'd be with someone else's family, or if I'd stay up at school. But no. I find myself back at home, with just my family. This is fine with me, I'm not complaining (my dad cooks a lot of really good food on New Years). And so, to continue with tradition, I'm wondering where I'll be next year. I could be sitting right where I am right now. I could be in Texas. I could be in Minnesota, or New York, or New Jersey, or even Florida (and those aren't random states. I would have legit reasons to be in any of those places). But I suppose I'll just have to wait and see, won't I?
Happy 2010, interwebz.
