new years is a time of reawakening and celebration. celebrating new beginnings with old friends. or new friends, i suppose as well.
this year, i'll be celebrating new years in rochester with one of my closest friends, anastasiya, and her friends. her family doesn't celebrate christmas, but they treat new years pretty much exactly like christmas, with gifts and food and celebration. so it's fun for me because i get to do the holiday thing twice! hehe.
we're also going to a masquerade ball tonight - ana was working on her mask today.
we have a list of places we want to go, but the masquerade is a definite.
it's important to me to have new years with the people you love. i feel like the new years you have sets the precedent for the year to come. how your new years is rung in says a lot about it. i've always felt that way - who you ring in the new year with and how you do it should be and are important. the mood, the atmosphere, your new years kiss. it all says a lot about where you are in life and what you're looking towards.
tonight, i'll be kissing ana! haha. this year ahead for me will be about strengthening the bonds i have with people, and have with myself. it's about embracing my new life and just diving in. my main new years resolution is to collect new experiences. i feel like i really haven't done too many things, and in my 22 years of life i'd like to have some more stories to tell and experiences to take from. so good, bad, minor or major i'm looking to embrace opportunity, take chances, risks, and collect some experiences.
also, i want to grow further with my new perception of love and relationships. but that, i'm going to save for another blog, because i'm about to leave to celebrate a proper russian new year.
take care, be well, be safe, and have a fantastic new year!
Happy 2009!

I'm so glad someone else looks at life as a collection of stories to tell. What else have we to leave behind really? Im living this life to tell stories to my children, and their children. I was just thinking about this the other day as I wrote in my sketchbook, and pondered packing away things I have saved for this year. Its something I've always done, saved things, papers, notes sketches etc. Not so much for myself, but for future generations in my family to be left with a piece of who I was...so that they might know me through my stories.
i love you cory! Happy new year! and although you arent present, you are one of my favorite people I have ever met!
