Starting life with a blank page

As the New Year approaches, I hear the phrase “I’d like to start the new year with a blank page” more and more often. You know, at some moments I want it too. I just feel like I’d like to cancel that wish very quickly afterward.

Without my experience, life lessons, I wouldn’t be what I am now. And the only one I can be is myself.

I cannot change the past, but I can create a different future as much as it depends on me. And to write a new part of my life book.

So no, I do not want to start my new year with a blank page.
