the new year.in approximately 24 hours, we will have concluded yet another year…

2013 will be just a fart in the wind and all of the memories that we had made will only be remembered through random pictures, relatable posts and romantic walks down anamnesis lane provided by our favorite social media websites.

this past year has not necessarily been a good or bad one for me.

i think i have spent the majority of the last 364 days sort of in limbo…

just kind of being present in the everyday and mentally skidding on through to the next.

basically, i have neither loved it nor hated it…

and being indifferent has become almost habitual.

sure, there have been the usual ups and downs that we all suspect will occur…

and there have been many grandeur changes in the lives of some of the people i care deeply about…

but personally, nothing life altering…

which could be a blessing in itself.

and please do not misconstrue what i am saying…

i am in no way ungrateful nor taking anything i experienced for granted.

however, i am really looking forward to the countdown tomorrow at 11:59 PM…

because at that exact moment, i, along with many others, will be able to wipe the theoretical slate clean and begin anew once more…

and i find that to be absolutely relieving.

so here is to the last few unimportant hours left of two-thousand-thirteen…

i appreciate you and thank you for your abundance of laughs and afflux of lessons.

but 2014, i am fucking ready for you…

in all of your guts and glory, i am ready to succumb to all that you have to offer…

and i can only hope that it will be mostly beautiful.

and i wish that yours will be, too.

Happy Two-Thousand-Fourteen!

see you soon…

 

the most wonderful time of the year.

the most wonderful time of the year.i have mentioned before that this is my favorite time of the year…

any time between mid-November until the first of the New Year is just the most gloriously magical, yet equally stressful, couple of months…

but even with all of the hustle and bustle, the perpetual running around and slew of events, nothing warms my cold, dead heart more than the holiday season.

and of course with all of that comes the endless amount of time spent with family…

but unlike most people who find that to be absolutely awful, i am reveling in the fact that i get to hang out with the individuals that i adore the utmost.

when i was younger, there was nothing i despised more than having to stay at home and spend an evening with anyone other than my friends…

obviously when you are an adolescent, you tend to believe that all parental units suck and FOMO and YOLO forever…

but i think that since we are still so immature in that point in our lives, we have no idea just how much more important that kind of time is, as opposed to constantly wanting to be with our peers.

as i have grown older, wiser and gracefully matured, the level of appreciation, love and respect i have for my mother and father has increased dramatically, and i genuinely look forward to the moments that we get together…

that kind of quality time has become the number one priority on my very short list of vitality.

not to mention, my parents are cool as heck, so really, i am only winning in this situation.

therefore, all of those people who dread this time of the year because they have to make time to reconnect with their relatives, i just do not fucking understand their type.

sure, we all go through some shit with our family members at some point in our lives…

and yes, maybe some of it is unforgivable, and in that case, i get it…

but in the long run, they will be the ones who have been there all along…

and to me, that means everything.

so here is to wishing you and yours a drama-free, relaxing and extremely happy holiday season!

enjoy it while it lasts…

love always,
