A Gradual Resolution.

It’s a New Year, New Beginnings and all that fan fare people associate with a new year. And I couldn’t be any more less excited. Why? Because I miss the two weeks I had off work. I was just starting to relax, enjoy being home and before I knew it; the fortnight was done. And my brother is leaving me sooner than I thought which makes it suck more!
However short it turned out to be; I enjoyed it immensely. I got the chance  to take naps and remembered how waking up from one felt like – refreshing. I think the lack of taking one at work is what drains me most. I should look into getting alone time over there.

My Creations

The creative juices flowed like never before and I made two necklaces which I loved. Not forgetting the one I edited. Drawing, making something and reading are my most treasured moments of free time. They symbolize peace, rest and I get as much out of them as a Zen master would out of meditation.
So it’s the new year. Hmm… I try not to have resolutions because no one ever goes through with them anyway but this time round, I am forced to have one. Yes. I realized last year that I have massive anger issues and might need anger management lessons at some point in my life. I’m pretty much a laid-back girl: the kind that is not fazed by anything for I take people at face value, I rarely let little things get to me so it takes forever for me to become enraged.
Well, I suffered my most enraging moment last year! The kind of rage that is only spent by breaking several things. And I broke some. The sound of shattering glass and ceramic definitely does something for the mind. There is that sense of fulfilment and calmness that overcomes the body after expending those emotions. Last time I felt this enraged was in High School and even then I broke a little something. What’s not cool though is; the muscle pain garnered from the energy and force put behind breaking stuff. I went around with a sore shoulder for two weeks.
Seeing as I can’t go round breaking things; the need to work on my anger is real and as such I am going to try as much as I possibly can. This will, however, be a gradual process. Those of us who take forever to combust take twice the time to work on it. So, wish me luck.
And with that; may you all be able to go through with your resolutions. Happy New Year.

New Year... New Beginnings?

It is a new year and apparently supposed to be a new beginning for everyone of us, a chance to get it right. Do y’all believe that?
I’ve realised that with the onset of a new year, me and my soul sister with a lot of conviction believe; it is going to be “our” year- that everything will come together as we think and wish it to be but that never happens. If anything, some of it goes horribly wrong with no ways of sorting it out.
I don’t know if it is being pessimistic this time round cause I have no expectations whatsoever. Apart of me feels that it is all going to be the same with the exception of growing a year older and gaining the wisdom that comes with age. I am yet to draft some of my resolutions; at the moment, I hardly know what it is I would like to concentrate on aside from my relationship with God. I feel so disconnected and veering off the straight and narrow at a fast yet unknown pace. I need to find the religious, spiritual side of me before it is totally lost. Who are we without the discipline of religion and God?
However pessimistic I might come off in this post, I wish y’all a fantastic 2012 filled with love, good health and lots of happiness. And may God make some of your wishes, desires and dreams come true. Amen.
