201X

We’re slowly entering the 19th year post our second millennium!

Does that excite some of you?

I for one give this year a 7.5.

I’ve had plenty of goods and several bads, but everything gimped itself up towards the end – forcing me a look back on numerous experiences I’ve grown from and succeeded into.

The best part about the year was probably the unexpectedness of situations I never thought I’d find myself in – and these situations made me grateful, humble and highly self-aware.

We strive to grow either consciously or subconsciously, but with every passing year, we should be progressing.

No matter how hard the present seems, there will always come a tomorrow when everything falls in place proudly.

This is my last post for 2018 and when I scroll down my blog, I look at my archive dating all the way back to 2012 and give myself a tiny pat on the back for being able to keep this going.

My New Year’s Resolution?

To keep doing what makes me happy, to keep pushing forward, and trying to become everything I’m meant to be.

What’s yours?

look back and reflect

 

Welcoming Myself 2.0

I’m back to where I once was and it feels good. It feels like I’ve been welcomed back again. Nostalgia makes me reminisce, nostalgia also makes me realize it’s been so long. I still remember the parks from the viewpoint of my 11 year old self, and while I try to stay there longer, urgency pulls me aside. Experience tells me to cherish a moment but not for too long. Logic tells me it’s about hustle.  I feel like I’m being called, but the calls seem like distant echoes – I familiarize with them, yet they’ve grown old.  I will always hold vivid images of these in my head – I’ve held on for so long, but now I’ve come to accept that I’ve changed, and my 11 year old self would question every bit of it. I’m happy, I’ve grown, I’ve lived, and although it feels like coming home to the memories of a child, it also feels like those surroundings are now expecting me to rise.
