These seem to be popular in the sense that they are often all new "starting points" for people. After all, doesn't the idea of letting go of the shackles of the past sound appealing? Sure does like hell for me and I've put up a mental list of resolutions for this new year (mostly because I don't want it to end like the terribly unsatisfactory year that was 07*).
*I won't say 07' was a complete waste however, and tip my hat off to myself for accomplishing certain feats I thought were actually past me.
However, 08 seems like it is going to be the a pivotal point in my life. After all I will be finishing High School, thus ending all "certain" aspects in my life and beginning my search for what will replace it. College? Not likely the way I see things. However, again, Pivotal Year is Pivotal Year so I'll leave the decisive thinking for not this one morning because if anything I figure it'll take me most of the year to decide what direction I'll be taking my life in.
In the end I guess I'm no longer hoping things will be better, but actually getting up and making things the way they should be.
I also need to learn how to not end up killing myself before school comes to a close. I have an idea, or rather project, that I believe might make things alright, so I'll go with that. It'll piss people off, but I'm ok with that. More on that when I get back with results?
