SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING OLD
UNSENT LETTER 006
To years past and years new, I am right at the curtain of old and new. Well a few days late or a month late guys. But, it’s a little bit surreal if I am being honest, the countdown to a new year, the goals, regrets, achievements, memories, hurt, pain, joy… all wrapped in one unseen line that ushers us to the new year.
This last year was a rollercoaster of everything, from emotions to logic, from work to play, from laughter to tears. Here is a peak behind something old:
January; I was not okay, my diary was filled with those exact words through every page of January. It took me a while to admit that to my self but, after a look in the mirror, my reflection was screaming at me how not okay I was. In the true fashion of the Unsent Writer, I sat in my not okay-ness for a while and drove head fast into February.
February; I had good days, sunny days and muddy sad days. But in February I made an effort to be the best version of me every single day and that did not fail me, I almost always pulled out of the January funk. With the famous Dead Poets Society Words, Carpe Diem.
March; I had better days. I was not trying to pull myself unsuccessfully out of anything, I was living one day at a time. And March did not fail me, I read a lot, listened to music I actually liked and wrote to my hearts content. In March I did what February could not, I Carpe Diem-ed!!!
April; I spent my days in music, art, books and more books. April was like a flower, beautiful and fragile. Both at the very edge of happiness and sadness. It was colored with all the colors of the rainbow.
May; This month treated me kindly, I started school, studying what I loved. I dove head first and could not wait for what was in store for me. May was not short of firsts, first new friends, the first time I met someone for the first time, first exciting lectures, all one can say about how may went for me would be a whole lot of firsts.
June; Here was lots of sun, lot’s of school, lot’s of lunch outs with the new may friends. June was sunshine and rainbows in every sense…
So to years’ past, I have to say that the first half was exciting and a little adventurous for my taste. Better still, the next half was nothing short of, well, if I give that away what will we talk about next time..?
