Fortune cookie from todays lunch by George Timbers

-Fortune Cookie from Today's Lunch-
Dear World,
This is the last day of the year, and my last one spent away from those I love. They say music soothes the savage beast but I'm not a beast, I'm a man. I'll be the first to admit I haven't acted like one but we all make mistakes.
On this night I will not propose any type of resolution, for I will always try and better myself. Why put a date or time on something that'll better you? It could pass you by.
Tonight everyone was in an upbeat mood because we're going into a new year and this year everyone of us in the program, at the moment, will at least make it to the half-way house but a few won't. That's more than enough to be glad.
For too long I've been like a fish out of water, a sheep in disguise. Now I can only be myself. Very few people if any can say they know the true George.
Well, this year I am only going to be myself. Welcome to the real world Mr. Timbers.
The World is Only What I Make It
George Timbers

Good for you, the only way you can truely ever make peace with yourself is to accept who you are. Never try to be something your not just to fit in. It will only backfire on you.
