New Year's Eve means so much more to me now
Five years ago tonight, I was at a show. My former bandmates had formed a band with two other friends, and I was taking pictures of their first (and last) public performance. And if you told me then that in five years, I'd be on the cusp of marrying the new guitarist, who I met for the first time that night? Well, I'll tell you, I'd be a little shocked.
Often, I find myself simultaneously amazed that it's already been five years, and that it's really only been five years. I feel like we've known each other all our lives, and at the same time, I can't believe how fast our relationship has moved. At this time five years ago, I don't even think we'd spoken our first words to each other yet.
New Year's Eve never had much significance to me; it's just a new day on the calendar, just one more mile on the big ol' odometer of life. But it means more to me now. It's the first of the many dates in The History of Tom and Fal, and, well, I like it a lot more because of that.
I've heard that, when the clock hits midnight and the year officially changes, you should be doing what you want to be doing in the year to come. So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go snuggle my Tom 'til sunup.
