"new year, new you" is what they say,

but when the clock hits midnight, you don't transform.

no, it's the same you in a new year.

all your same flaws and foes, worries and mishaps, mistakes and imperfections, it all gets dragged into another year with you.

the question is, do you go into the new year with all of that weighing on you, or do you let it go?

can you let your burdens go? can you trust yourself enough to break free and focus on the new?

forgive yourself, but don't forget what brought you here. don't forget the mistakes you made, as well as the mistakes of others, because as soon as you forget, you will make the same mistakes again.

the same pain again, and for what? because you couldn't be bothered to remember?
