"Dolce Vita" Steven Klein


these are...

HOT.

RANDOM.

fresh starts.

thanks to the calendar, they happen every year.
just set your watch to january.

our reward for surviving the holiday season is a new year.
bringing on the great tradition of new year`s resolutions.

put your past behind you and start over.
its hard to resist the chance at a new beginning.
a chance to put the problems of last year to bed.
who gets to determine when the old ends and the new begins?

its not a day on a calendar, not a birthday, not a new year.
its an event.
big or small.
something that changes us.

ideally, it gives us hope.
a new way of living and looking at the world.
letting go of old habits, old memories.

what`s important is that we never stop believing we can have a new beginning.

but its also important to remember that amid all the crap are a few things really worth holding on to.
