Happy New Year! Less is more

Belated happy new year everyone!  I'm so thankful to be here to see 2010, what a blessing!  I don't really get into New Years resolutions, mainly because I forget most of them within a week or just give up and say 'the hell with it' out of frustration haha.  Why add unnecessary stress to my life for the first week of a new year?  The only thing I've committed myself to is enjoying life even more and being an all around better person.  I'm kinda cheating, because those are two elements of life I'm always working to improve on.  I have hope that I'll be successful with both feats again this year.  Looking back at my life over the last 5 years I would say I've changed (for the better) and continuously finding myself being molded into a better person who enjoys life for what it's worth.  Speaking from personal experience it helped me to give the ax to a lot of people in 2009.  The year was practically smooth sailing in comparison to previous years.  Less "friends"=less drama=less depression=less self loathing.  I never dreamed I'd prefer having a simplistic life with only 2 or 3 friends, as opposed to always being surrounded by people, doing socially appealing things.  It's overrated.  That's a testament to my growth beyond childish needs for love & acceptance by people.  In more ways than one I feel like that same child, burnt many times, but refusing to remain bitter.  I just want to remain as positive as possible and take my life one day at a time...enjoying myself, my friends, & the journey that has led me to this place.

Happy New Year

P.S.
I'm going to start my year off by enjoying Mariah LIVE in Atlanta on January 19th!  I can't wait to see her since my favorite songs live on her "Angel's Advocate" tour :)
