i would like to take a moment to be completely awestruck by the fact that tomorrow is the very last day of 2009. it has been a decade since the start of the new millennium, the Y2K craze, yada yada yada.
looking back to New Years Eve 1999 (being in 5th grade), i can so perfectly remember spending it in my best friend's apartment; making confetti to throw around at midnight and shaking Coke and Sprite cans to pretend we're having champagne only to realize we shook it too much with no shooting liquid in the end. has it really already been a decade since then? the days of Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel, memorable American teen movies, Baby-G watches, Hit Me Baby One More Time & Genie in a Bottle - occurring more or less ten years ago?! they all seem so - insignificant now. as will today ten years down the line. i'm sometimes scared to blink in case i find myself ten years ahead. twenty-one years and i still haven't become accustomed to the passage of time and my dearest friend - change.
minus my constant anxiety attacks and life in denial, with tomorrow comes yet another New Years Eve. the passage of time is inevitable. it must be, change is after all the only constant in this world.
