You know when you look at months and the days on a calendar, you see that December 31st and January 1st are only a day apart. And it makes you doubt whether any true change has ever occurred once that ball comes down and the seconds reach 0. But quickly as the next morning rolls around, you are standing in a new year, the first time you wake up, the first time you brush your teeth this year, the first thing you ate this year, its like everything as completely been erased and the world is a different place. I can tell you now that this year is going to be pretty eventful, I'm cautious yet excited to go through it. The weather has been great, no complaints there, for once I can actually see the January sky without shivering. Recently I realized how much I love staying outside and chilling in the cool breeze watching the sky and thinking. Or even hanging out with my friends that I haven't seen for years. I was with them recently, and my God we have so many great memories, and it seems like those memories will never stop recycling in our heads, I had an amazing time with my friends, I felt like I was at home with them, because they brought me back to a place where things were simple, yet have changed into our ages.
This year I'm going to end my run as a teenager...I have less than 7 months before I end that "teen" ending to my age. My God, I can't believe it...when I was 13 I had no idea what to expect being a teenager, I had no idea, even though I was told it so many times before, that these years were going to be the hardest most difficult and most important years of my life. Every year I feel more complete, as if I'm getting closer to being more and more wise, every year, I pay deeper attention to everything around me. Life opens new doors for me every time, things are only going to change from here on out.

I hope for nothing but the best...

i always like to think of it as a clean slate, sometimes a clean slate is good!

i'm glad you got to hang with your friends too, i felt the same way recently hanging out with my friends from back in the days..like you said the memories are good. it takes you back to the days when things were simpler...i think this is what mostly remember about our "teenage days" when we get older. that is why you hear many say they are the best days of your life, of course we forget the bad stuff, but in the end who really wants to dwell on the negative? life is only going to get better Mike..its good to look back sometimes, just remember you've still got to go forward.
