A New Year

Well it's finally the big 2006. My joy is inexpressible. In May, I will be graduating, and a short three months later, I will be leaving Topeka. I'm sure I'll be back to visit... I'll only be about four hours away. But now isn't the time for that. I'll repeat that all before I leave.

Now is the time for New Year's Resolutions! Everyone has at least one, whether they will admit to it or not. Maybe they haven't even admitted it to themselves yet. Why do we even make resolutions? Few people actually live up to them, anyway. Aren't they just totally pointless?

Maybe it proves that we really want so much more for ourselves. Do billionaires have resolutions? Wouldn't most people think they wouldn't want anything more than they've already got? I'm sure they do. Even Bill Gates. He's just a normal person who wants everything he can have for himself (even things money can't buy), just with more money than most of us.

So I guess even if no one follows through with their resolutions, they aren't completely pointless. They show our humanness; they show our desire for something deeper, for something to give us true happiness.

I could be totally off, but who knows. Just a thought.
