walk with me into this light

Dec 31, 2011 15:44

Happy New Year's Eve! I'm about to get all dolled up and head over to my best friend's apartment, where we will have pizza and chocolate fondue before heading over to Wicker Park to go drinking and bar-hopping like everyone else in this city is planning on doing tonight, hee.

I've been feeling anxious about 2012 for a number of reasons, but I'm turning over a new leaf in my attitude towards life, the universe and everything. I've been a bit melancholy the past several months, and it's time to change that. I made a bunch of resolutions - a tradition I don't normally take part in - that are really exciting and inspiring to me; some are general and some are really specific, but essentially they all boil down to "look for the good in everything and everyone" and "your life is what you make it, so make it what you love". And also "use your gym membership, dumbass".

I made a playlist this morning for the start of the new year; fresh starts and looking forward and leaving the darkness and other optimistic things (it is also specifically tailored to me and my Issues but whatever). I've been listening to it on repeat and it's making me quite happy. So here, have some music!
