I feel that since it is the New Years, I should write a well-written, thoughtful, reflective, and inspirational blog about the importance of this great and underrated holiday. Well, I am not going to do that, about the whole inspirational blog part.

See, it is three in the morning and I finally think the wine I drank earlier is using its magical powers at attempting to shut my eyelids. I’m basically there. But if I don’t do this blog now, I won’t do it at all. I would be too lazy and uninspired. So if this blog is kind of gramatically incorrect or just plain confusing, you’ll understand why. I hope all of you will get the gist of my message.

New Years is probably my most favourite holiday of the year. Though Christmas is enjoyable, it is not celebrated by all. For example, people with religious views won’t celebrate the 25th of December.  But New Years was not always my favourite holiday. Recently ( the past two or three years), as I have grown older, more mature, and open-minded, I have realised that New Years has a special quality to it that no other holiday has.

It brings the world together. Kind of. I don’t know how to put it on words but…it does. Despite all the conflict and tensions in the world today, we have come so far together. And on one day of the year, we all come together and celebrate the passing of a year and the coming of the next. We all put aside our difference and come as one world to celebrate life and our existence. Our existence.

I hadn’t realised it until the other day but we all truly do not understand how lucky we are to be alive. And how precious one life is. I want all of you who are reading this to just sit back for a bit and think about this. Ever wonder what it is like to not exist? To not be alive? It is pretty much impossible because all we remember is when we have been alive. And to think, EACH and EVERY person in the world is unique and different. And we each have our different set of memories. Also, just think about the importance of everyone around you, all of your friends and family. What if one of those important people didn’t exist? What if you never had a sister? Or a friend named Daniel? Or a Lucy? Its hard to twist ones mind around it all.New Years is a celebration of having each other. To appreciate each other. Another year with each other. Together.

I just want to say to all of you out there that I appreciate you and I cannot wait to spend this new year together with you all. Happy New Years everybody!
