Dear mom,

 I don't do resolutions.  I don't like making promises that I can't and know I won't keep.  But I do like new years.

WHY?

New years are insignificant.

They don't mean anything.

It's just another day.

But it's another day.  

And it's another day with a new year and a new start.

I like new starts.  

I put in a new pair of contacts today because I wanted to see the new year from a new perspective.  I want to see everything, EVERYTHING, clean and new.  

That's why I like new years.  I can kind of understand why people make NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS.  Because why not?  It's a new year = a new start = a new everything.  It's the perfect time to change.

Not that I need a new year to change.  I seem to be able to do that all on my own all the time.

But still.

Even though you aren't alive anymore, I still wish you a happy new year of new perspectives.
