It’s Christmas once again, and I’m on my laptop once again. Like last year, I’m brooding over the same ache. As the festive mood showers over this lovely city, it gives me the time to stop and take in all the wonders and beauty I’ve received in the past year. As though a reminder to reflect and appreciate what I have been given in the past year, Christmas serves as an opportunity for me to rethink what kind of a person I have been, and how I would want to be in the coming year.
2012 is touted as the “End of the World.” As it draws close, I am glad I have had this opportunity to have lived a life I can leave behind as a contented person. I might not have achieved everything I wanted, but at the very least, I am happy and have no worries. I am answerable to all my actions and am more than glad that I can smile in the face of almost everything.
The biggest thanks would have to go to my family – My mum, dad, brother and sister. No doubt that there were conflicts and other scuffles, but without them, I would not have been able to walk this far. So thank you my family.
2011 has been eventful. I have experienced almost every aspect of humanity in this one short year – Joy, tears, love, hatred, content, grudge, pride, low-self esteem, euphoria, in-the-dumps, hope, confusion, and so much more – And as it draws closer and closer to 2012, I would like to end this year on the right note.
I know many things have happened and many unexpected twists have appeared in my life story of 2011, but I do not want to let it stay the way it is. I can not please everyone, but I will try my best to not let anyone be miserable/unhappy if it is within my abilities. So here is my little commitment, to right some wrongs before 2012, or at least try.
And lastly, here’s wishing you a very merry and blessed Christmas. Be it celebrated as a tradition or just a festive cheer that passed you by, I hope you have a great and lovely time in the midst of all the chaos of the world. Thank you for being a part of my 2011, and may you have a splendid year ahead.
