So this is the new year.
I'm usually one for writing a retrospective post at the end of a year, thinking about what the year has meant, and dreaming about what the year ahead holds. This new year's I've only felt a vague sense of flatness. Perhaps because half of me feels like it's somewhere else and the half that's left is bitter - I was always more prone to giving in to negative emotions. Regardless, I spent the eve of 2012 with some lovely friends, doing simple things, and a Skype session. New year celebrations for me have always been low-key.
2011 was everything a year should have been. Somewhat tumultuous to begin with, it steadied after the half year mark, giving me the assurance I needed. Academically, it's been the best of my university life - and it looks like I'll be able to do my honours after all. Friendships were strengthened and cherished, and my family's been the glue that keeps me feeling grateful. I travelled with some friends this year, and hope to repeat that again in the new year.
We're getting older kids, there's no getting around that. 22 in 2012; here we go. We live and we learn and we love.
Sharing some beauty with all of you... This video inspires me to no end. Shoots from the ceremony can be found here.
