For some strange reason, I tend to pick a song, just before the current year ends, and set is at my anthem for the coming year. Does anyone else do that? I feel weird. Anyway, I pick songs to remind me of things. Plans, agendas, back stories, what have you. Sadly, I can’t remember what my 2009 anthem was. Or if I had any, for that matter. But I did have an anthem for 2008. It was Switchfoot’s Awakening. I love that song so much, really.
Awakening signified a new life for the new year, a new job, a new career. One that involved dealing with people you see on society pages, photos you’d find on billboards and magazines, and the like. I really wanted that job. And I really wanted that life. The paycheck wasn’t even part of the decision-making process. All I had in my head were the possibilities and open doors that job would give. And if I bust my ass even more, things would be even more stellar. Unfortunately, the year ended with a thud, when all my plans crumbled, thanks to the clever diversions certain people put up.
2009 was boring. Despite the rollercoaster of emotions I constantly had. The high parts always short and sweet. and part-dreadful. The plunge comes right after. But everything was such a routine, that the ride itself, despite the twist, turns, spirals, and crashes, were all just “blah”.
This year, I decided to shake things up. I picked One Republic’s Good Life. Actually, it was a tough choice between Waking Up and that. But I figured a good load of positivity would do me a lot of good. Which, despite my previous posts, is true. Hearing the song for the nth time, I’m reminded that yeah, there are “some bullshit/issues that don’t work out”, but we make our lives the way we want. Don’t get me wrong, I still do feel bad, and yes, upset with certain things in this life, but there’s a whole lot of great, amazing things happening right now, that seriously, why complain? It is a good life, and I choose to have a good life.
I’m currently mapping out plans and possibilities this year, and if I play my cards right, this year would end in stellar fashion.
So what is your anthem for 2010? Care to share?

The name Yavie is taken off JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion. It is short for Yavanna, meaning Queen of the Earth. Yavie is Henri's cybername...easier to read, spell, and pronounce compared to her real name "Henriette" which someone conveniently misporonounced as "Hen-rite", and "Herniet".
