Rocks
What shall we take away? What shall we leave behind? What bridges shall we burn, which way to go from here?Two thousand and four, for me, was a year like none before. It was a year I found my maturity. It was a year I knew for certain the things that should matter to me. It was a year devoted to reflection, and I was fortunate to have been able to do so. Two thousand and four was a year I met interesting personalities, made remarkable friends, let go of dear ones. It was a year where people moved in, moved up, moved away, and moved on.
Life circa 2004 was a nightmare on reruns, I guess, but tucked in between familiar episodes were moments of profound insights. And it surprised me to know that it is in the simplest things where we find the answers, it is in the most unexpected moments that lucidity is there. Amidst the haphazard narratives running in my head, I found my true voice.
Take out all the rocks you've stashed in your pocket along the way. Take a good look at them and take your pick. Which shall you leave behind, which shall you take away?

you're right, as always. but letting go of those certain "rocks" will be difficult. but i guess that's all part of growing up and moving on.
congratulations for an eventful two thousand four. i can only wish to gain maturity in the span of one year. ;)
Personally, I'd prefer to throw some of the rocks at some people actually =) But seriously, good for you for having an insightful 2004, and hope you have a great 2005!
yeah. wish i could keep all the rocks, but you're right. eventually, we have to throw some away.
Keeping all the rocks in one pocket .... beautiful and enlightening JMP. I'll try to keep that in mind. Ü

I want you to know that I've come from the same shitty mess last year (and the year before that, as you probably well know). I'm not gonna offer you advice, not gonna stop you from replaying your flawless scene, not even gonna say how things are going to get better. What I wish for is that you to find the solace that you seek. I wish you peace of mind, whatever form it would mean the most. Take care.
like ennui, i wish you well. the journey may be long...but you get there. easy does it.
