The Euphoric Year
Okay. If you think that I'm going to summarize my year 2008 and spend umpteen hours cracking my head trying to recap what happened throughout this whole year, I won't.
Well, maybe I'll just scribble some bits here and there. But don't expect anything more than 1000 words. I'll probably just write about 999 and a half words? Heh. Bummer.
Hmmm.. 2008.. What can I say... Well, it surely marked the start of early adulthood for me. It's a special year. So special. A lot of things done changed now. There's just a lot of countless incredible yet priceless life lessons that I learnt. Hmmm.. Honestly, I could really cry thinking about it.. But then again, crying won't rewind back time. And I won't wanna change anything that ever happened.. Those happy times, those not-so-happy times.. And yeah, especially those rock bottom periods.. And I'm truly glad they happened, 'cuz I won't be who I am right now without them.
Well, next year's definitely going to be another awesome year.. I won't have any extraordinary resolutions. Maybe just one; to stay who I am within.
Oh yeah.. And this I've got to mention.. Haha.. Tomorrow's officially gonna be one full year now since it happened. The 1st of January 2008 was the day that sparked the fire that destroyed the whole forest, only to create an Eden replica afterwards. I could still remember that one text message..
text message: hey.. so do you have any new year resolution haha
Well it might not be the exact phrasing.. But it's the content that matters.. Heh.. So yeah.. It marked the beginning of a friendship between two very-different-yet-similar-in-many-ways individuals. Like literally two different worlds.. Haha.. It's like angry heavy white music collided the groovy up-beaty black music. Just think about it.. Children of Bodom meets Usher. Hmmm.. Maybe Eminem best describe this combination; angry white dude doing heavy yet groovy up-beaty black music. Erm.. Yeah.....
The fact is, she just taught me a lot of valuable things, whether she realized it or not.. Well I learnt what sacrifices meant, how to value the term family even more, how to be a listener, how it's okay to be who we are, how it doesn't matter how others think about what we are, how it's okay to fail countless times before we finally succeed, how to let go little by little, and most importantly, how true friendship works..
Everyone knows that life isn't all about the happy things.. We all go through not-so-happy things at one point of time or the other. We fail, we learn, we try again. It's a never-ending cycle. We just got to be strong. 'Cuz we are strong to begin with. Sometimes we just have to hold onto whatever we have to hold even harder. Like they say, there's always a rainbow somewhere out there after a terrible storm. Heh.. It's funny how a pessimist like me could come up with something that optimistic. Well, she taught me that, in a way..
Okay, I'm a couple of minutes early, but whut-ta-heck... Happy New Year!
Note To You:
my 2008 won't be the same without you
