Tread Softly

New Year, New Hope

The end of one year brings the start of another. We trade bitter regrets for new hopes. Some set to change and others manage it. We end and start a year the same way, with celebration, because life is a circle, a cycle, which may be filled with loops and jags and never-ending, but repeats itself over and over again. Yesterday’s hopes are today’s determinations are tomorrow’s triumphs. But sometimes will is not enough and we fail what we set out to achieve. It’s just as well, that each year brings with it a new chance, a new door and opportunity to try and make something of one’s self. Hope might never be enough, but it should never be forgotten in your endeavors.

For in life, all exist, but not all live, and one thing all must do to survive, is to remember that they must keep on keeping on.

Leading Someone On

At least you were told straight on. Do you know what it feels like to be lead on? Becoming so entrapped in a lie and believing it firmly for a whole year, watching as it goes on toward summer and still believing in it, and finally, finally the time comes, and you see that what you thought was so, wasn’t. Do you know how much that hurts? To be seen as a fool by people you thought you knew, to have your past thoughts thrown in your face, to hear their laughter, to feel the stinging shards of shame, anger, and worthlessness, to see the error of your ways, all the while feeling betrayed. I may be a bad person, then again, I may be a good one as well, but out of all my wrongs, never have I done that, especially not to those extremes.
