Talk about one thing you hope to do in the upcoming year that you have never done before.

The thing about myself (at least, as far how I think of myself) is that there has always hung above my head this huge World Of Wondrous Things That I Should Be Part Of. I'd always craved it for it represented everything that I did not have in my life. Yeah, we always want what we don't have; I've never claimed to be original.

The oncoming year looks to be a promising one. I'm growing up, my immediate family is happy, my mother's happy with her new family, I'm learning to deal with having two families, and things between this world and the other world are at least not unpleasant. I haven't badly lost my temper for quite some time, although it would be a stupid resolution to not lose my temper at all this year, because I know myself well enough to know that there are some things you just shouldn't tempt fate with.

So this year I'm going to do the very simple but very huge thing of trying not to want anything. I don't mean the little things, like, you know, a new piece of jewelry or shoes or a good meal, but the big things like... To not be here.

I'm going to make a conscious effort to be happy with what I have. It's the least/most I can do.
