The clock has ticked and a new day begins, a new year even.
When something new begins, you can't help but think about what had past.
Someone (or probably some narrative from some TV show) once told me that the saddest thing about being humans is the question most of us ask ourselves, What if..?
What if I had done something different?
What if I didn't do it in the first place?
What if I had said yes instead no?
What if I was just 5 minutes earlier?
It's endless. Which basically is what if I didn't take the yellow brick road?
At 2:00 am in the morning, as I walk down the street, I see how drunken people moving up and down the street shouting "Happy New Year!" and strangers meeting other strangers giving each other high fives and shaking hands while wishing them a happy new year (even some stranger just shouted at me "Hey bro! Happy New Year! Go party your ass off! Woooo!"), I find those question I asked earlier were useless.
Just mindless regrets for something that just couldn't be changed anymore because it's just too late. Why bother right?
So this is to 2009, may regrets stay as nothing more than mistakes of the past, and let hope bring us new beginnings! Happy New Year!
Cheers!
..and good luck.
