Fresh Start
Now that it’s the new year, I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf.
Yeah? You finally decided to wipe the slate clean?
You got it! I have a new job, I’m living in a new city, with new friends! This is my opportunity to make some small changes in the way I live my life.
So what are you going to do? Take up an art class or something?
Well, first of all, I’ve decided to stop smoking. It’s not that I’m pinching pennies or anything, it’s just that I’ve been smoking since I was sixteen, and I think it’s time to stop.
I’m with you on that one. Anything else you’re planning on doing?
One last thing, I’ve decided to come out of the closet.
It’s about time!
