New Year...New Start?

This year, I was hoping for a new start. New fun and a release of the past angst and stuff that happened last year. Yet so far it has been the same thing. People only looking out for themselves and not really worrying about each other. Now don't get me wrong, it isn't everyone I feel this way about, it just seems to be one area of it. The same area from last year. I said last year, I wasn't going to participate in it, becuase it makes me angry and getting my blood pumping way too fast and for me it is more fueled by the hatred that goes on between people I really enjoy. It really has nothing to do with me. I get dragged in because I associate with one side more than the other. It truly is ridiculous. I want to put an end to it, atleast an end to what I can control, which would be my involvement in all of it, yet I feel I need to call BF and tell her what happened yesterday, which I know will only fuel the fire.

So what do I do? I think I will end up in my room a lot this year with my kids and no one else, because I am going to be Switerland.
