Welcome to the Year of The Rat! I, for one, am glad it has arrived! Of all years, the last one, the Year of The Pig, is the worst year for my sign, and coincidently was the worst year of my previous ten years of my life. I cannot say it was the Year of The Pig itself that caused the difficulties, but it is interesting that the cumulation of personal poor planning and foresight climaxed into the year which diametrically opposes my sign.
It is also a coincidence that the Year of The Pig ended around my birthday in which I turned thirty years old. I have not spoken yet of the relevance of this event, but I plan to in the future. The next ten years of my life are dependent on this birthday which has led me into a positive new year of The Rat.
(to create coherence in the following bit, understand in short order that I died at the age of 21 and was reborn into a new way of life. It has happened once again; a death of Self has occurred at age 30. Now I am building a new way of life that is unique from the previous two. A future blog post will explain in larger detail.) After a quick death at age twenty-one, I created a new life and stepped into the future. I have lived that past life for nine years now. Almost half of which is chronicled at darkflavor.com. That life, without going into too much detail became exceedingly more and more difficult to live and cling to. This last year, all the way up to this day have been the most difficult of all, although the pressure is easing now that I am changing. Previously, it was as if I were pushing against a relentless tide of change. I stood fast to ideals and beliefs which became unbearable to maintain. As shown at darkflavor.com my discontentment, dissatisfaction and disillusionment with reality is obvious. That site is filled with pain and sorrow. It lacks intention. It is akin to reading a log of bad dreams.
I have died again.
I have been speaking to you now from a new life. I reflect this on this website. I reflect this new life with veganism. I reflect this with change.
What does “change” mean when applied to our lives? Why do we change? Why do we resistance changing? When is it time to change?
I know what this new year means for me. What does the Year of The Rat have in store for you?
