Happy New Year! Although I don’t give a lot of credence to this holiday, it is as good a starting point as any.
My over-active brain has a tough time seeing this as just an arbitrary date. What makes January 1 the beginning of the year? I like to look at the Winter Solstice as more of a logical beginning, but I suppose that not everyone in the world has the Winter Solstice at the same time. So, January first is a good date as any to bring a new year into play.
Anyway, this year, it does hold some significance to me. These past few years have been both challenging and awakening for me, and I have decided to use this day to start fresh.
I am, also, not a fan of the concept of “resolutions” I have never known anyone, including myself, who has used it to make any sort of lasting change. Instead, starting and continuing this blog will be my New Year’s “Revolution.” I will revolt against all the things that have kept me from being the person I know that I am. I will revolt against all the people who have tried to convince me that I have no worth and that I have no capability to accomplish what I dream of.
This is a revolution against a world that seems, sometimes, as if it is doing its best to kill me while I very much want to stay alive. I very much want to experience a world that I suspect also has so much so much joy to show me.
This is a journey that I am looking forward to and hope to find people who will be by my side to both support and advise me. I am not afraid to hear anyone call me on my bullshit. Feel free to join me.
