Tears for New Years
December 29th, 2017 Tears for New Years By Karol Para
New Years. It is a time where we celebrate the old year leaving, and the new one coming.A sad concept, at least it is a true concept. But maybe this concept exists in our modern day world, because of the fact that we humans need a transition so that we can start something new. So that we can set a time, a date, a place, and change our course and ideas, forever. And that in itself isn't so sad. It just means that we are happy to start something new. To let the old die, and open the door for the new. And so, I sit at my desk, staring out at the snow falling from the heavens, and I allow my self to shed tears. And I shed them now so that I can open a door and not only be happy but be myself. Be free of the weigh that was present under those tears. And being free is a crucial part of being new.
I don't really know where I am going with this post, but that is because I have so much to say. I have so much to say in these last days before I approach the new door. One made of freshly cut wood and painted with a glaze that reflects the sun allowing it to light up a whole room. But what most I have to say is that I have done a lot this year. I have started my own company. Even though it isn't the next up and coming Google or Tesla, it is what it is, and most importantly it is mine. I have given different people some opportunities to be themselves and express. But in my privet life, I have also become someone different. I am not afraid to stand in the door and scream my ideas or to fight for what I feel is right. And that, that is why I thank 2017, for giving me a chance. For putting me in a place where I could be part of organizations such as TED, ICE, or the Illinois State Senate. It has given me a chance to stand in Europe, just like I do most years, and see what I haven't seen. It has given me a chance to build relationships with people I care about and envision a future with. 2017 has simply been a year where I lay down the fundaments made of strong cement. And I hope that in the future I can build up a house, brick by brick, onto of this foundation. And even if that house falls, I will still have that strong foundation I laid down in 2017. Cheers to you!
