Chasing Time

by *Crystal*

Halfway around the world, my friends in the middle east are already in the new year. My cousins in London are just about to celebrate, while my other family and friends in Asia are waking up from a long night of partying to welcome in 2012.

I got out of the car after running errands. The sky was clear and the weather was crisp with the warm December California weather. It just seemed like another day. Did it feel like something new was coming? No. Same old.

We went through a lot in 2011. Challenges, triumphs, disappointments, beginnings and ends, births and deaths. To me, it seemed like such a “bleh” year that there is hardly much to celebrate about, except for an outlook to a brighter new year.

Tonight will be another adventure in the foggy city of San Francisco. I will start a new decade-long artistic project filming. New friends will be met and made. Jokes will be thrown around. Memories will be ingrained into our minds. Fates will be determined.

Tomorrow at 12:00 AM, I will start my countdown to 30, along with 30 things I will wish to achieve.
