Another year has crept away. So sneakily, stealthily carrying away all these memories. Some events and people from 2016 will turn into memories and history forever, some will carry on their physical presence, and many more new people and new encounters await me very soon.
2016 has taught me the most life lessons, and has been my greatest year yet in terms of self-development. I have discovered so many facts about myself that I never knew, and experienced so many adversities and hardships that really toughened me up. Countless times I have doubted myself of my ability to survive this year, but today on 30th December 2016 I think it’s safe to say that I am a survivor. I have underwent so many changes, both physical and emotional, just to become one step closer to the person I have always dreamt of being. I have loved and I have lost, I have learnt through others that nothing is impossible, and I have learnt to let it go. I have become more satisfied with myself, I have learnt to respect myself a bit more than I used to.
I started this blog in late 2012, after countless previous blogs which I had failed to keep alive, with only one solid goal in mind – to maintain this blog and keep it alive. From a daily diary, to occasional updates, and now finally a more eloquent version of a rant site – I celebrate the (somewhat) success of this blog for hitting the 4-year mark, for keeping the writing spirit alive, for being an absolutely essential part of who I am. This blog has helped me express emotions I could never physically have expressed myself, for being such a great form of catharsis when my mind is a wrecked mess. I have never been good with talking, but I’m thankful that to some extent, I can write. To me, writing keeps my soul from running away, keeps my sanity even on the worst days.
2016 has hosted some of the worst days in my life, but also some of the best, most genuine moments ever. You get up when you fall, and you get up stronger than ever before. My road to recovery was not easy, it was tough as hell, A levels was a monster I managed to fight and conquer all by myself. Of course to all those who has helped me in one way or another this year, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. All these mysterious readers who read my blog, I don’t know who you are but thank you for enduring my incoherent rants.
May 2017 be good, and come as you are, whatever you are.
