Reflecting.

Its that time of the year again. The last day of the year, the time we all sit and reflect and make resolutions for the coming year, in hope that the next year will be better that the year before.

We live, we learn. Another year gone by, another lifes lesson learnt.

I don't know how many resolutions I will make this year. I think I'll keep them minimal, and at best doable.

Its been a whirlwind year for me. I've done things I'd never imagine I would and/or could do. I've gone places I never imagined I would see. I lived, I laughed, I cried.

I got depressed, I got drunk, I got high.

I took some gambles, some paid off. Some, I learnt to live with. Others, I'm still trying to learn from. I packed up my bags and flew half way around the world and left everything I ever knew behind - A difficult decision to make, but nevertheless one I have never regretted taking.

I found friends I never thought I would find and kept those who mattered close to my heart. I learnt to depend less on others, and to take baby steps to do things for just for me. I learnt to stop saying sorry for mistakes that weren't mine and to not let people push me around (okay, at least not so much).

I learnt to have a little more patience, to be a little less competitive, to be a little more thankful.

Thank you for your faith in me. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for your love. I could have never made it this far by myself.

This year, I'm keeping things simple. Im want to ..

- Appreciate what I have and remember to let it show
- Have faith that everything will work out somehow
- Have the strength to keep my chin up even in the face of adversities
- Let go a little and stop comparing
- To do, and not just try
- Have patience to wait for my turn to shine
- Eat less chocolate (haha)
- Get back into shape (this one comes up every year)
- Be happy, make others happy
- Worry a little less over things out of my control
- Grow a little more (Dont know how to do this one yet)
- Adopt a turtle (finally!)
- Make a difference (Have I made a difference in your life?)

Have wings, will fly.

I sit here quietly and wait for the breaking of a new year and wonder what will come this time around. I will make something out of it. I promise.
