The thing about New Year is that everybody is expecting it to magically change everything. The clock will strike twelve, and your lives will be different, you`ll magically transform into someone you always wanted to be...
...Yeah... It doesn't work like that. No need to be Sherlock to figure that one out.
And what`s the fuss with it anyways. It`s just another night, like any other night. Nothing special happens, unless you make it happen. Time just moves on. And you get one day older. That`s it. Notice the pattern here?
But anyways, it`s a good excuse to spend some time with your family, or friends you haven`t had the chance to see in long time. The thing that most people seem to miss about it is that it`s not obligatory to go out. You can just as well stay at home and watch TV, or do what ever you want to. No one`s forcing you to have a good time unless you want it to. People are rather full with understanding, no one expects you to feel great all the time. It`s OK not to be in the mood. Like ReVamp song goes "Misery`s No Crime."
When you realize that it`s not about the place, or the time, or clothes you`re wearing, but who you`re with, that`s when you`ll have good time. That`s what it`s all about. Just having good time weather by yourself, with your family or your friends. "Good Time" is the common nominator. All you need to do is to relax and forget all bonds that ties you up to your everyday`s life. Just let go of all things that annoys you, forget the fact that your life is a big pile of fucked up mess! It`s one night of the year when everything shouldn't be about making everyone happy, it`s not about feeling the weight of the world - let all of that go, and just be yourself.
And speaking of the change mentioned in the beginning of this post - you don`t really have to wait for New Year`s Eve to start changing. Every day is just made for it. Every day should mark a new beginning of something in your life. Forget resolutions, they just make you feel bad in the end, cause you never manage to accomplish anything you made as a goal for yourself. Do it gradually, at your own pace. No need to rush things. The point is to enjoy the ride, and grow in all ways you can, or better to say you want to.
The most important thing of all is never to give up. Don`t give up on wishing upon a stars, or eyelashes, pennies dropped in the fountains... Remember all those things that made you happy when you were a child, and hold on to those believes. Maybe things will change... Just like that... Isn`t that what everyone`s expecting New Year`s Eve to bring?
