Most of us never amount to very much anyway, so to take away the disappointment of never amounting to any dream, is to stop dreaming completely.

Here is to 2015.
A while ago I accepted that my life is going to consist of being poor and playing video games and you know what? I am A-OK with that. I'd rather be poor and have time for video games than have a lot of money but be busy with some sort of crazy 60 hour a week job or whatever.

(I mean preferably I'd be rich and retired but you know)
I think a lot of people, this generation, have it crammed down their throats that they are unique and have some sort of special purpose that they need to unleash on the world. This has not been particularly helpful to me personally. I am not very bright or smart, limited on the whole creativity spectrum, I'm pretty regular.

I believe that a new year passing doesn't make someone a new person. You are the same person on the 1st of January as you were on the 31st. If you meant to make a change in your life, you'd have done it already.

Adnittingly some people do need that list to check through, and I suppose a new year is as good as any milestone for assessing the self and any current developments.

But don't listen to me. I'm a severe pessimist with ADD problems!
