It's the last day of 2011 and to be honest, I'm a little sad of letting
it go. Goodbyes are never easy (that was quite a theme for me throughout the
whole year). It's been a pretty big year for me. It hasn't always been smooth
sailing, in fact it's probably been one of the most challenging years I've had
to go through, but it's those challenges that makes it exciting and made me
learn and grow the most.
~~piccas of me and new baby boomers love for 2012, insyaallah~~
2011 has been a huge year for me.
It has been challenging, exhausting, emotional, wonderful, eye-opening,
life-enriching... and I love it for all of that. I wouldn't change a single
thing. Not a single tear or a single giggle. It was all worth it.
There are many things I'm grateful for in 2011. I landed my third ever
full-time job in a field that I've been working towards for years. I feel like
I'm taking the right step in my career. I became financially independent, and
it felt right. I took too many photos,
and bought a new camera to take even more. I learned so much that it's too
difficult to list them all. I took a step closer to being a confident grown-up,
yet ironically at the same time I feel I've grown more emotional than before,
making me quite the crybaby sometimes! I met people who I connected with in
ways I couldn't imagine, and I'm pretty sure they made my heart expand a little
(which should explain my emotional moments). I met creative souls who inspired
me; Sweet and funny people who constantly brightened my days; Encouraging
mentors who believed in me more than I believed in myself; Generous people who
helped me raise money for the charity; Neighbour’s became friends; Strangers
became brothers; Old friends and family stay loyal and true. With hellos came
goodbyes. Some come back, others won't. Some sting a lot more than others, but
it's the one that stings the most that means they've just made a huge impact in
my life, and I'm grateful for that.
Speaking of loyalty, thank you to all my loyal blog readers. I'm sorry I
haven't been the best at regularly updating the blog and replying to comments,
but I promise I'll be better next year. Thanks for sticking with me, and I
truly hope you all have a happy new year!
So thanks for the ride, 2011. You've been awesome. On your way out, can you
tell 2012 to take good care of me too? Yeah? Thanks. x0x0
