Minutes to Midnight



And so another year comes to end, another new beginning awaits the rising sun of a new year with a new opportunity being laid in our hands. Yet I can't help but ponder the strange ways of the human mind - we always need a fresh start to regain our confidence, we need a clean slate to retrace the black marks we erased. We never stop to realize that every moment is a new beginning, every step you take, you are moving ahead.. life never stops to slow down anyone, it takes everyone in its stride, it's up to us what we take away from it; its breezy moments or its blackened sunsets. Every morning you stand at the crossroads of life, picking and choosing, big and small, but a decision, a decision that will alter the sails of your life in one direction or another. Why is it then that we need a 'new year' to make a new resolution, why do we need to blow out a candle on a 'birthday' to make a wish, and why do we need an 'anniversary' to remind us to celebrate? Everyday should be a wish for happiness, everyday should be a resolution for betterment in life, everyday should be a celebrations of being alive and appreciation. So here's to a new beginning of every moment of every new day. See you all next year :)
