new year new start?

its 2008. so what's up with it? it used to be that i never really thought about new years. of the year past drawing to a close and a new one dawning but now i do. i guess its a sign of aging but i really am seriously considering this. i view 2008 as year to finally grow. meaning being accountable for my actions. admitting that i have control over my actions and its effects. that i have the choice to choose. that i'm now an adult and live with it. that i am on my own now. and that running home to mama is not a choice anymore. i vow this year to be different. if 2007 was a year of missed opportunity, 2008 will be a year of opportunity taking. if 2007 is coated in mistakes, 2008 will be a year of starting over. if 2007 is a year of reluctant adulthood, 2008 will be a year of embracing it. if 2007 is a year of fear, 2008 will be a year of defeating it. this year will be my rebirth. i promise that things will be different for this year. this year will be different like no other years that passed.
