Mood: Anxious
There is this vauge feeling of uncertainty which reminds me that in a few short hours, I will be saying goodbye to 2005. It's rather melodramatic to make such declarations, but I can vividly recall the dawn of last year- how confused I was about the direction of my life, and how I lacked the focus and discipline to get anywhere that was worth being. More to the point, this year was perhaps the first in which I stopped to take stock of my situation, and how I wanted to remedy my path.
2005 was a radical year of growth and prosperity; but it could have crumbled to pieces if at any point I let my mind wander. The good days were so amazing in their own right, that no substance could replicate the satisfaction. The bad days were so deradfully bleak, that I often wondered when the veil would be lifted. In general, the good never tasted better, and the bad never tasted as bitter. It was a year of Yin & Yang, completely based on perception.
I learned quickly that while the composition of my days was fixed by external factors, my outlook on the things I had to do was malleable to my whim. This was the single greatest lesson I learned this year. I can't hate on what was, or where I came from this year. Everything was worth occuring, and had a reason. So I don't crib about how things turned out, or when things got really dreadful. I kept some perspective in the back of my mind, and that really helped me to stay afloat.
So thank you, 2005, for being my worst enemy and best friend. I don't know what else to say, except that "today is going to be a glorious day," (thanks Thom Yorke).
Happy New Year~!

2006 is going to be big. It hasn't started yet, but I can already tell it will be an important year.
i agree. i feel like this is going to be a fantastic year in many ways.
Is this a biography on Sahil Kapur?
eh, no this is not a biography on sahil, although i find it funny that you drew such a blind parallel. but i suppose its all in good spirits, so i'll let it slide.
by the way, who are you?
