You Must Be the Change You Want to See...
I shall probably not be back until after New Years because of my parents’ lack of ability to stay home. And for once I have a strong desire just to stay put and not move. Slink back into my bed and curl up and read or watch something or anything other than that.
I feel so exhausted; this year has truly drained the life from me.
But I turn my face towards something new. A new direction.
I have faith, in something that is unraveling before me. A story of life and loss and darkness and light. A story of greatness. Of a girl as empty as the people around her, of another who's bright and light with her own weight to bear. Of a boy who is frightened and scared and filled with the raptures of something he can never have. Of the man, who is the dark but filled to the brim with secrets and burdens.
Oh, how many more lost souls fill it to the brim. A story that reaches far into the depths of the unknown. I have seen it and it is mine.
And I have faith.
Faith in the people who fills its hallowed halls, faith in the twists and turns each day it brings. I have faith to take it as far I can. To fly with it into a world and plan unknown.
I have faith in it and faith in me. To tell it like it is. To be the me I can be.
And that is what shall come of this New Year. I shall bring it about and have it embody everything I ever meant it to me.
So cheers, after all, to A new Direction. A new hope and a new light. May my steadfast resolve and yours hold for the year and other years to come.
Cheerio, loves.
To '08.
