As I think about the new year turning into 08' I cant help but feel a little old. It seems like just yesterday I was standing outside my house while my dad blew shots of 12 gage shotgun shells into the air to celebrate the new millenium. So my new years resolution is to not feel old like I have been the past few months. I'm only 20 after all!
Just a few days ago I was speaking to a friend who was commenting on how he misses the feeling of invincibility he had during his high school years. The feeling the I can do anything and that I am indestructible. In many ways I agree with him. The late teens of my life (I speak as if they were so long ago) were filled with new things and doing something for the very first time. I know that for me, I haven't done something that I thought of as "new" in a long time and the silly thing is that there is so much left unturned on this planet!
So no more feeling old. No more sitting and doing nothing. No more waiting for other people to do stuff with me that I could perfectly well do by myself. I need to no longer be scared to walk the patch alone. Friendship is great but the true test is that of ones independence.
