I was going to write a really long post recollecting everything that happened in 2010, but halfway through that I felt that it was completely meaningless. Instead, I shall be a girl and write about my emotions and shit, what I've learned in 2010 and what made this year so special.
This year, I learned that it's okay to cry. When life gets you down, don't be afraid to sit down and just bawl. I think I cried more this year than any other year, which might kind of make it seem like this year was my worst year to date, but I'd say it was my best.
This year, I learned that it's okay to smile. After the initial phase of self-pity and sadness, I learned to pick myself up and move on with life. Who gives a shit if it's pouring with rain and lightning and thunder seem to be making everything gloomy. Go outside and dance in the rain till your hair's dripping wet and your clothes are soaked. Look to the sky and don't tell God how big the storm is, tell the storm how big your God is, and smile knowing there's someone looking out for you.
This year, I learned that saying goodbye is a million times harder than you imagine it to be. You can prepare yourself for days, maybe even weeks, and reason with logic and facts why you should not be sad. Then the day comes and suddenly all the emotions come flooding back and before you know it you're an emotional heap in the corner, sobbing your eyes out wondering why life gives you people only to take them away from you. This was not the prettiest and easiest lesson to learn, but I guess I've come out of it stronger.
This year, I learned that memories are all you need. You don't have to erase something or someone from your mind because it's over; you don't have to cry because it's over. You just have to remember that everything that you had isn't everything you will ever have, but it still was something you once had, all the same, so never forget those previous memories.
Most importantly, this year I learned to love. To appreciate and never take anything given to me for granted, because everything is fleeting but the love will remain.
I learned that love may mean letting go, but it doesn't mean forgetting. The hardest thing to do is to say goodbye, but it doesn't mean that you stop loving. To my loved ones looking down from above, I'll always love you.
I learned that love isn't divided, only multiplied and doesn't have a limit. To my amazing friends that sat down with me and let me have a cry on their shoulders, thank you and I love you.
I learned that love never dies. Maybe I won't be in the same class as my best friends next year, maybe I will no longer be in 2G, but that doesn't mean that I'll love them any less. To my fantastic classmates, I love you.
I learned that love brings people together. To every new friend, old friend and stranger that I have crossed paths with this year, thank you for being a part of this kickass 2010, and I love you.
So cheers to entering a new decade/ending this decade, and high five if you're not entirely sure if 2010 is the first or last year of a decade S:
I can only hope that 2011 brings more laughter, more love and more memories ;
and that it will be as phenomenal as 2010.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
