2012… 24… The end is near!


And here it is another March 1st. I know this year has already begun but, for me, it begins now. 2012, they say, is the apocalyptic year; the year we should live in its plenitude and enjoy each second we have and blah blah blah… Since I don’t believe the end is near, I plan my life carefully. Each step has to be thoroughly calculated and each word has to be measured in a way there’s no margin for error. Ok, that might have sounded a little… cold, but I’ll explain: 2012 means to me the year of a change. A watershed. The end of a cycle.

It all started in 2002. Somehow, my world began to fall into ruins and, scared, I couldn’t deal much with the new facts of my life. With help from people I consider to be angels, little by little, I was reconstructing myself. However, every time I stepped forward something pulled me down again. Tired of all that but instead of rising against it, I yielded to inertia and let apathy take over me. I was vegetating. One day, at the age of 23, I woke up. I realized my life was passing by the window and I wasn’t living it. I decided to form plans and goals so I would start doing what I should’ve done long ago. But everything has a cycle and this one wasn't finished yet. I found out my personal revolution would take place as from the end of a decade. I mean, 10 years are enough to dot the “i”s and cross the “t”s, after all.   

Today, at the age of 24 and full of hope and anxiety, I begin to follow a path to the closure of this cycle. I start making essential decisions which will change the course of this story. My story.

The end is near! No destructions or disasters, no chaos or sorrows. May 2013 come soon!

PS: Happy birthday to all of you who were born on this beautiful day of March 1st. May you achieve everything you’ve planned and be happy!
