A part of me really appreciate this day. The end of 2011. The day we look upon the past 365, or rather 364 days for what we have and have not done. To remind ourselves for making it this far in life. To thank our loved ones for stick with us through fat and slim. To congratulate the earth for making yet another full orbit around the sun without exploding or anything. Like a new chapter of a novel. Which the Mayans claim to be the last. Which after much consideration I label as balderdash.
A part of me thinks the whole new year idea is nonsense. The year only ends because we set it as a 365 day cycle. To the rest of the universe it is indifferent. Tomorrow will be just another Sunday. Where the most significant change is that we will write 2012 instead of 2011 when filling in dates. A placebo to convince humanity that something is about to change. A psychological lie.
Still. As much as my brute-force-logical self demands that I study Physics now. I am staying here until I finish this post. Jumping on the band wagon. A convention I suppose. To conclude the year and propose resolutions for the upcoming one.
I do have a lot of feelings for this year.
2011 is a turning point. A maximum rate of change of life. Almost everything is different. I am away from my family. Not that distant but fair to say that I'm on my own for the most part. I am no longer with my old friends. I go to a different school now. Where. Who. How. What. Those changed. Life is not the same. And I couldn't be more glad how it turned out.
I used to be a typical student. Wake up. Go to school. Study hard. Good grades. What not. Now. Shit. I'm still a typical student. But of course the radius of my circle has widely increased. I've met a lot of amazing people this year. ES family. CCA pals. NP friends. And of course the whole of Red Camp 8. Ninjas to be accurate. I genuinely thank all of you for being a part of my life. The days and years ahead. We are to enjoy together.
To my family. Thank you for supporting me in my decisions throughout the year. Sorry for not being around more often. In a way I feel I have more control over my life. In another way I miss having my family around to talk to and be with. In 2012 I hope to spend more time with all of you. I do so love you all very much.
To my old friends. I hope 2011 has been a wonderful year for you. I miss you all too damn much. And I'm glad that we are still in touch. What we share is extremely precious and not to be forgotten. May 2012 be exponentially productive and mad-sick-awesome.
To myself. I shall make more friends. I shall be more hardworking in school. I shall be more persistent in pursuing my passion. I shall be more respectful. To people who deserves it that is. I shall show more love and care to everyone around me. I shall be more sensitive. I shall be less sarcastic. I shall be more open minded. I shall be a better person.
And here's what I expect from you, 2012.
Be a challenge and make everyone grow. Be a roller coaster and let everyone experience something unforgettable. Be a joyride and make everyone laugh. Be a dear and let everything turn out well. And lastly. Be prepared. Cause I'ma make you my bitch.
