Christmas is over again for another year. New Year's Eve is soon upon us. Traditionally it is a celebration of the passing of the old into the new.
There are certain things of old I am more than ready to let pass away and new possibilities to look forward to. Socially and economically I am considered lower class poor. Until now, I have never really considered my station in life or how miserable it has made me. I am ready to say goodbye to that poor wretch and embrace creating a more desirable lifestyle.
The changes I have resolved to make in myself may offend some of those close to me. Unfortunately, I can no longer afford to live under the thumb of what others may think. I have to reach out and take what I want from life. I do not want to be on my deathbed looking back on my years and regretting that did not have the courage to live them the way I wanted.
It is such a tragedy that most live in such a way as to create an appearance of what others expect of them without ever being true to their own desires. Appearances are worth absolutely nothing in the end; nothing at all.
I do not want to be an employee any longer. I cannot stand being subjugated by the rule of employers and working for their benefit. I want to be a professional writer and make a comfortable living at it. I have expensive tastes but have never been able to indulge them. I want to work as little as possible while earning as much as I can so I can really begin to appreciate every single moment of the rest of my life.
Phew, I really unloaded a bit of baggage there. 2012, I wish, will be the year I turn things around and become the person I want to be. I am ready to welcome the new.
