New Year Realisations.

I don't believe in resolutions, they never work for me. I do think that every year brings new realisations with it, though. So, these are the things i have realised so far:

1. I'm a home bird. No matter where i go, i'll want to come back and sleep on my bed and pee in my loo and ride on my bike without a pillion and meet my friends and have time to myself.

2. I do not understand the idea of open relationships, or for that matter, 'open endings' being the new closure for relationships.

3. I can deal with heartbreaks. Hell, yeah!

4. 27 was the best age of my life. I loved that year. If i could re-live it, i would. Over and over.

5. I'm good enough at photography to want to hold an exhibition. Please, the pictures in the previous post are nothing to judge me by. I chose the worst ones on purpose.

6. I get claustrophobic when people start getting (metaphorically) too close to me.

7. I have to change people's impression of me as a scary person.

8. My friend says she has 'this feeling' that i'm going to get married this year. I know that that window of opportunity for marriage is closing again for me, and i'm the one pulling the shutters down.

9. I love my life. Pain, flirtations, uncertainties, responsibilities, fog in my head, restlessness, boyfriend-lessness, the sentimental-mad-irritable part of me - everything included. Would i trade any of it? Umm... Yes, waiter, bring me one Boyfriend; medium spicy please.

10. I can't watch my parents growing old. I hate the feeling of helplessness that accompanies it.

11. I'm going to try and finish a book of short stories this year.

12. I have to get my passport done. Because i want to go to Australia this year. I even checked fares. 40K round-trip, travel only. Not bad no?

13. Screw the world, i'll do what i like and what i believe is right!

14. I'm starting to look old.

15. Weight-loss, not priority. Staying fit, top priority.

Any of you got realisations you might want to share?
