New Year.

January 1, 2016.

Wow.
I actually got confused when I wrote the date.

A new year.

I can't believe that 2015 went by so fast.
I seriously believe everything happened like one week ago.

So because it's a new year people say we should forgive and forget.
No regrets.
No conflicts.
Just start over.

Well I can tell you that even though I tried I didn't do these things.

And it's actually ok.

Another year of my life went by.
But I'm young.
I still have an entire life ahead of me.
Sure I won't get this year back.
The regrets and mistakes, the memories made (to quote Adele).
They will always be there.

But I shouldn't live in the past.
Right?

I don't like the quote 'New year, new me'.
It's just not true.
I'll still be the same.
I don't want to change.

Well unless you're a jerk.

Anyways.

I prefer 'New Year, new beginnings'.

So, if you couldn't get everything you wanted on 2015.
Don't worry.
You still have plenty of time.

Sure we don't know what the future holds for us.
But don't forget to enjoy the present.

Happy New Year.
