Ok, so I cry more than is commonly accepted for anyone of the male gender, this isn't news to me, but at this time of the year I find it particularly easy. A new year is starting, but I must think back on last year, all the opportunities I missed or messed up, everything I did wrong and that I'll never get a chance to try again. I saw a video on someones facebook about the world in 2010, what happened and now whats next. I find it hard not to cry. I mean, we're all one year closer to death, everything that we made such a big deal about last year will soon be forgotten and the human race moves on. In a few hundred years even our superstars wont be remembered.
I find it easy to draw a parallel to doctor who, when David Tennant was replaced with Matt Smith. He had fought to keep his life and now he was dieing again. His last lines were "I don't want to go" In the end we all must go, but I think about that statement personifying the year, It must leave no matter what, and sure the next one will be the same thing, just as each doctor is still the same being, but its still completely different, The doctor is a different man with different looks and different personalities, the year will have its own challenges and joys, but when it comes right down to it we can never go back. The world is changed and we will move on.
This year or that year, it doesn't make a difference, because no matter what it will have been forgotten in the end.
I always say "Don't dwell on the past." You should just focus on what's next because otherwise, you'll miss your chances. Live like you only have a day left. Of course, that's kind of hard. But I've promised myself that I will do everything in my power to not be forgotten even after I'm gone. Life's too short to stop and say "Should I?"
