Thirteenth

A new year lies closely upon us, the arcane future and its surprises are so far sealed with mystery, I sit and ponder about the past days, 2013 could have been a decent year, but I cannot lie; I was deluded by false hopes, I was unable to move past memories and move on, rather I'd stayed behind holding onto a simple dream, now I can see this dream was not meant for me, but amid irrationality who has the grip to discern properly? We can't always say hope is something positive, sometimes they beguile us from the original path after implanting false dreams, then confounding us from finding the alternative route to progress. A year it took for me to accept these truths and with an aching heart I tried to compromise through prayers, but it was time to move on. It was hard enough to physically separate from the places of memories, but mentally? that was impossible, what helped in the end was my realization that I was the only one walking around the memory lane and with that, I could no longer see a reason to stay behind, it was bitter but nevertheless it worked... Looking forward and doing your best today are all that matter, learn to leave when it encumbers your advancement and quit clinging onto sentimental archaism, because obsessing over memories cannot fix real problems. Goodbye 2013, and hello 2014, I hope we'll all catapult away from the bad and closer to the good things, Have a Happy New Year.
