enjoy the silence

Dec 28, 2010 23:45

I think I'm in need of some isolated recuperation. Maybe it's being surrounded by people every day, having their opinions heard and not mine till I silence them within myself. I need time to think and hear my own thoughts. To know what I want or figure them out even. It's not that there is something wrong with the people around me, they're really awesome. But sometimes I feel that I'm giving in too much, thinking for others too much and end up upsetting myself because I find it unfair. Yet, it really isn't their fault because I'm the one who gave in in the first place. A begrudged martyr of sorts I suppose. I just need to withdraw from a bit, refresh myself for the new year and all that is ahead.

This time, I would really like to usher in the new year quietly with just one other. I've learnt the transience of people the hard way, so I'm not really looking to a big gathering.

What I would really like:
A bonfire
A bottle of wine/ whiskey/ whatever
Two of us
The beach
Happiness

While others watch the fireworks, get drunk and completely wasted as they rowdily count down, we would be watching the waves and enjoying the dawn of a new year in a comfortable silence that only we understand.
