In 2 deep

That's a big damian marley tune

A new year does not mean new changes. Even if one might pick a grand moment to signify grand change, in actuality – that is not the case. Time is truly relative and special occasions are really artificial. No moment is truly different than the next. 2008 is teaching me this the hard way.

I think the road to unhappiness is paved with good intentions.

I am suffering a 2007 hangover. I seem to be digging to get out of a hole. The more I resolve to find happiness and peace, the further I fall. I feel like the people around me look at me and don’t see much. Then again, if I was to look at myself, maybe I would think the same. I am struggling.

It is hard. I remember my first blog entry – activity is not achievement. Ambition and potential are really just words. I am hoping I can wake up from this dream. I cannot go on being Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. What is happening in my head needs to happen in my life. I am tired of being a disappointment, or feeling like a disappointment to the people around me.

Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight
Why am I trying to see, when there ain’t nothing in sight
Why I am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die

I think I am too young to be feeling this old

I can totally relate to this...then i met you.

re:"A new year does not mean new changes. Even if one might pick a grand moment to signify grand change, in actuality – that is not the case. Time is truly relative and special occasions are really artificial."

A new year does not mean new change but gives everyone an opportunity to express change, prepare for change, to be better people. It is a grand moment to signify grand change. I disagree when you said its artificial. I am thankful for the set day to bring forth resolutions and turn over a new leaf....Look at us now Jarryd, do you still agree with that statement. Now that so much time has past? :)

However, I agree with..."I think the road to unhappiness is paved with good intentions." It is, I truly believe one must experience some sort of unhappiness to appreciate or value simple things in life. It is all in the "process" of living.

I also believe there is always a beautiful rainbow after the storm. :)
