It's that time of the year where everyone starts to reflect back on how their year went, the events that happened, reflecting on how they've changed or how far they've grown; me included. I've did a lot of thinking on this lately (or all the time) but honestly I don't know where to begin. For a start, it was a very fast (like really fast) year and within this short time called a year a lot of happenings took place, not all are pleasant but most were. For instance, going on a cruise trip (this definitely by far the most relaxing/amazing trip ever) and watching the sunrise in the morning from our balcony room, flying to Tokyo to witness the cherry blossom season, watching concerts and soccer games, bumping into celebrities (more of only I know and my friends don't which left me fangirling all alone at the moment) at random places, tues/thurs training with my dikir girls for shows leaving up post-show syndromes (dikir has been a really huge part of my life this year and I'm thankful for that), going on my first overnight trip across the border with friends without adult supervision, and meeting new people (it's always nice to meet new people).
Then there were those moments where without it, life would always be up there and no downs; like bad grades for semesters, stressful and sleepless nights, 5 months of internship (not that it really is a bad thing, but the working world is scary), broken friendships (friendship is a nasty business sometimes) and other trivial matters which does not seem to matter anymore. There were those regrettable choices and all those missed opportunities but all that are in the past. And through all this, I'm thankful for all the changes in me, what I've achieved, what I've lost and what I've learnt. 2013 has been a year of growing up (not that I haven't all those other years); physically, yes but I'm referring more to mentality and emotional aspects. And experienced changes in myself which might be positive in some ways and negative in others but that is something that I choose for myself and shall not regret. I guess I'm a little more expressive in a way. It's the last year being in my teens and as of tomorrow, I'm practically entering adulthood. Still grasping onto the idea that I won't be in my comfort zone any longer and that I have to bear more responsibilities (real ones).
I don't know what is waiting for me this coming New Year but I hope to conquer it with an open mind. To keep the new year's resolution simple (most of us know we don't actually accomplish half of it), let's just hope I grow into a better person in every aspect possible. To everyone (or anyone) who made it till this point (congratulations), no matter how sucky your year was, I really wish you a better year ahead. Life is short to dwell on the past so make the most out of it and I'll see you next year (this never gets old).
