2009
2009.
A new year, bringing forth new possibilities, a clean(er) slate, new resolutions, a fresh outlook, and above all else - new and REnewed hope.
2008 was more or less a bust. I've never put much credence into even years ... after the hell of '96, I much prefer the odd. ... Of course with the shite of '01, that kinda evens out the score ...
Anyway.
The only thing I can really say in favor of 2008 was of the people I met along my path. Some of them, I could have done without, but that happens all the time. Most of them have been very pleasant. I don't know if any of them will continue on in 2009, but their breezes left my leaf happy (go here for an old post about my oak tree, for a better explanation for the leaf comments).
So. 2009. Many resolve to lose weight or to save money or whatever. That too. I will resolve to be ... less giddy, hare-brained, and frivolous. I resolve to be nicer. I will be good, and less of a bitch. I've lost in myself what used to make me a good person. I want that back. So, this year, I resolve to do just that.
Also in 2009, I will grant myself a clean slate. I'm single and fuck you if that bothers you. I am my own woman, and I don't need a man to define me. If all you can ask me when you see me after a long period of time is "So, didja find a man yet?" don't bother. Even if I have, the answer to you will still be no. If, however, I find someone that has a shared interest in dating, anywhere from undefined and casual to ... the other side of that spectrum, I will give it a try. Sure. Whatever. Maybe. It could be fun. I am, however, not looking for anything. I have enough on my mind. (I figure that as long as I can stay unattracted to people, I'll be ok, lol) SOO. Clean slate. Booyaka.
What are your off the beaten path resolutions?
