Just A New Year

"A fresh start on a New Year.."

Something I heard repeatedly all day New Years Eve. And I started to wonder...

How is it that people can conclude they'll get a fresh start from a simple numerical change. Every problems of the past our still carried with you, and every mistakes are still in your memories. People decide on their resolutions based on a mere day. Why can't they sporadically say "I'm going to make a change today"?

But then i figured...

Whether it'd be the fireworks, the kiss, or the black-eyed peas, we're all embarking on a new journey. We make resolutions as our destinations. We pre-plot our maps to where we want to go in the new year. Where we see ourselves, where we want to be. We embark on a new path to different places to meet different people. But most people (including myself) rarely make it where they want to going, they lose our maps, or stray from the path...

But this year.. I've marked my map...

Just Grief.

"For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction"

Every action we take are in our own judgment, our own point of
view, regardless of anybody's pressure, anybody's feelings,
What we chose to do is what compose our personalities,
it feeds our inner selfishness and powers our subconscious freedom.

We do what we want without thinking about what will happen,
about the opposite reaction.

The force that acts upon EVERYBODY
that he met, EVERYBODY, that he talked to,
there is always an opposite reaction.
Today, posters were made. Prayers were said.
Time and Thought were taken.

And for what?
Someone who was alluded by their
avidity, to think about the people,
that care most.

Just Their Faces.

As I was watching a movie today, I turned around and was struck by an amazing anomaly. When I looked at the people they were snugged into each other's neck, with their eyes staring at the screen, and their emotions on their face. Not toward each other, but genuinely at the movie. Not ignoring each other's presences but comforting each other as they acknowledge each other as well as the movie. And I thought of the amazing genuine of their faces.

But then as I looked around and see people's faces glazing towards the screen with their souls on their faces. No matter what movie I went into everyone's faces seemed to be express a sort of heartfelt feeling that seemed to make the movie even more worthwhile. Even as the movie progressed, their emotions progressed with the movie. Whether it'd be their saddened faces during Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself, their smiles in Nine, or their tears in the TimeTraveler's Wife.
Their expression were so authentic, it's something you can only see out of someone through a long period of trust. But these movies seem to have pulled it out of them in an incredible way. It was a true spectacle just seeing the expressions on their faces.
