200 Seven

It was January 1st again. This time the year was called 2007. Some of us took our first breaths heavily under the influence of alcohol while dancing in clubs. Others, like myself, found that fires in the living room with friends was just as satisfying.

When the new year begins is when I usually "officially" feel like my new age. It's like the entire month of December is an adjustment with the backdrop of holiday parties and good will wishing. It's a month where people tend to look more beyond themselves than they normally would and that is somehow comforting to me during the transition of chronological growth. Soothing.

But with growth, can sometimes be growing pains. These things tend to spike and subside with me. Thresholds of pain are usually very high, so I'm not one to complain. I both celebrate and cringe at the idea that it is easier to endure each year.

A night with friends at Mary's. I spoke to someone new and look forward to finding out more about this introduction. I also learned that thimbles are kisses and not monopoly game pieces.
