no. i refuse that. it does not beckon, it stamps its' feet, bangs at the doors, demands to be let in, stomps in and kicks the door shut.
it has come unannounced and is unapologetic, blatant and demanding. it demands you do something to welcome it, it demands attention and craves to be celebrated.
you welcome it unwillingly, annoyed by the need to usher in it when you've not let go of the past.
2005 was a blast. maybe not quite the blast that the term "blast" conjures to mind, but still, an eventful year.
after all, this was the year i did so many things for the first time, things i hadn't dared to do before.
i graduated, i taught, i drank, i danced, i slept, i wrote, i revelled, i dreamed, i thought, i travelled, i read, i cursed, i loved, i hated.
some friends are no longer friends, some were known only for a few hours when something sparked between us and created a wave that carried me on for another month or so. some friends were found after more than five years, some friends are totally lost now. some are best lost.
it's difficult to sum up the year in so many ways - guess i'm already late to this since it's already the second day of the new year, but closure, closure.
all in all, i learned. and while i'm not exactly welcoming that unwelcomed guest who came one too early, i guess, i'll live with it.
onward 2006.
