Everyone needs a fresh start every so often, wouldn't you agree? In my case, how many freaking new starts can I possibly have? I have so many, every freaking day is a new start. I can't decide if this is good or bad. On this topic, there was once an old lady that told me a story about the sun that had to do with new beginnings. She said:
God made a promise to all of humanity:
As long as the sun keeps shining, there is always hope for new beginnings.
Leave all of your past with the darkness
And invite the light, move forward.
Like I said, I have had my fair share of new beginnings. I feel that maybe, new beginnings are what make humanity amazing (one of the many reasons). People change, they grow, they learn, they suffer all the while, they are able to pick themselves back up and start again. I have seen it over and over. The world keeps reminding me that this promise is real. I am not religious or spiritual. I believe I am only human and I believe in kindness.
Even with all this, as Christmas approaches, I am often reminded of how lonely I feel. Fresh starts don't come with a "get-rid-of-loneliness" button. Sometimes I think that this all has to do with myself. I go through bouts of depression. Since two years ago, and maybe even before, depression becomes a cycle. I barely made it this semester. Ugh... gotta keep moving.
Do you believe in new beginnings? If you don't, why not?
