...a new year, with no real difference...

Yes, it's now 2013.

I've read thousands of books in my life so far, and to be honest, expected the world to be much different than it actually is right now.

Ah, the delusions you have when you are young.

When the new year begins, so many people make "resolutions", mainly with the best of intentions. Then there are the people who make said resolutions, because they feel it's required, knowing they have the intention of changing nothing.

I make resolutions, on New Year's Eve/Day, or ever.

I decide to do, then I do it.

Capricorn....what else needs to be said?

My life may not be ideal for most, but it works for me.  I know I'm a good person and the people that actually really know me will tell you the same, guaranteed.  Can I be a bitch? Abso-fucking-lutely.  I have a very high bullshit tolerance, but if you shit on me and use and abuse my kindness long enough, I will turn on you so fast it will make your head spin right off your shoulders.  There is no coming back from that with me.  My inability to ever forgive would probably be considered a major downfall, but if you knew how far you could push me to get me there, you might not.

I've already made some major changes in the last few weeks of this new year, with more to come.  Back to blogging full-time this year, now that I have my work/homework schedule more organized.  After visiting with my brother a couple of weeks ago and finally meeting my niece Kiaren, I will be doing what I can to spend more time with her and my nephew, who should be here shortly. I have never and still don't apply the word "friend" to anyone lightly, so as always I will make sure those who are my friends know what they mean to me.  I will continue to care about and protect my BFFF, even from a distance, because he and his girls are very important to me.  He is happier than he has been since I've known him and I will DESTROY anyone who tries to take that from him.

I will continue to love until the end the one who knows he has my heart, because real love is rare. Like I told him years ago, if it's not him, it's not going to be anybody. Simple fact of life, or at least my life.

I will continue to love my life, to be as happy as I can, and enjoy this gift of being alive, something too many people take for granted if you ask me.

I plan on doing a lot of traveling the next few years, going places I've always wanted to see, going to as many concerts as I can fit it, and most importantly, getting reacquainted with Vancouver, still my favorite place on earth....Canada rules lol

To all my friends, old and new....live your life with no regrets, don't do the things you know you might, don't take for granted the gifts you are given, treat others as you are treated, don't let others bring you down, live your life in a way that will make you happy, it is yours and you never know when it's going to be over.

Live every day like it could be your last. :)
