To those of you observant of that sort of thing, happy new year. To those of you who aren't, oh well.
I decided yesterday that the whole new year's resolution thing is overblown. The very idea, I feel, is flawed; to not be content with the way one is is rather... Diseased. The practice of change because of some ritualistic notion in society isn't right in my eyes at all.
I guess what it all boils down to is observance, really. If you're going to change, then by all means change. But don't change because of someone else or some day. Change because you mean it.
And to that end... What's so great about changing fundamental aspects of yourself? If properly realized, any weakness can be a strength. And that's something real.
