GHOSTS

New Year. Makes me think of ghosts. Ghosts of the dead. Ghosts of relationships. Some haunt you, others guide you. While the general focus of the New Year is the celebrations, the resolutions, the future, I see it more as a time of reflection. Of ghosts of the past. Who and what affected me, transformed me, inspired me? Decisions I regret. Things I wish I could've done better. Difficult circumstances I had no power to change but managed to emerge stronger, maybe even a little wiser. So the clock strikes twelve and I listen to the ghosts whispering in my ear, reminding me of where and who I've been. Yesterday suddenly makes tommorow seem a lot clearer.
