Last night was a lonely way to start the new year. Apart from ending the relationship with my boyfriend, I just wasn't having the greatest of days. A cigarette, glass of wine, and a close friend talking to me seemed to help dull the emotions I was feeling. I put on a movie a surfed tumblr until midnight came around. Then I dragged my exhausted mind to the comfort of my bed. Happy New year I said to myself. I had a feeling it would be better.
This morning I woke up feeling somewhat better. It was a new day. Smile. I told myself this over and over. I got ready for the day, and my best friend surprised me with a drive to a favorite spot of ours. A train track bridge. Its tall and the wood is stained and old. I'm drawn to it even more on dreary days like today. She told me to pick up a rock and say something I want to forget about the previous year, or something I hope to change in the year ahead of me. For an hour or so we took turns throwing those rocks as far as we could into the river below us. I felt hope for new beginnings.
And as I write this, I remember why I created this blog. To express myself and focus my thoughts.
Cheers to a new year.
