Here's to 2010.
All things considered, 2010 was definitely one of the better years of my life thus far. For the first time that I remember, I'm actually really excited for the new year, not just because I want to leave the old one behind but also because I have things to look forward to.
In 2010, I met the most new people I'd ever met and was finally able to convince myself to lose that old shy mask of mine. In 2010, I left the country for the first time in over 12 years and was able to travel, even if I dearly, dearly missed speaking English by the time we were on the way back. In 2010, my brother moved back, undoubtably the best thing that's happened, especially in my family life. In 2010, I lost an old, close friend, ending on bitter terms, and we've still yet to patch things up. In 2010, I was finally able to muster my courage and ask my long-time close friend out.
All in all, 2010 was a good year, like a long book - I had fun during it, but I'm not sorry to see it end. At least, not with the future right in front of me like this and with the past behind me. Comparing this year's post with last year's, I'm glad to see myself happier. Life, you aren't getting the best of me anymore, and you can bet I'll just keep getting stronger.
Even if I didn't really accomplish half of my resolution's last year, it's no excuse to let this year pass without any goals. That being said.
+ I will stop biting my nails.
+ I will keep eating healthier.
+ I will take the best out of life.
+ I will not ignore things until they explode.
+ I will try to live instead of just existing.
+ I will try to be active rather than passive.
+ I will not dwell on unhappiness.
It's a pleasure to meet you, 2011. Here's hoping for another good year.
