out with the old, in with the new
the first week of 2010! as it has for most people, this first week has been somewhat reflective for me. i spent time pondering the past and making plans for the future. some part of me cautions that plans for the future never work out the way we intend them to, but this pessimistic voice is lost, buried behind the winds of change i can feel starting in my direction.
2009 was in some ways, a dissatisfactory year for me compared to 2008. it occurred to me today that 2008 was a year of change, a year of growth, of finding myself and my own footing. i encountered new people, new experiences, and i can probably say it was the most memorable year of my life so far. 2009 paled by comparison. perhaps it was more of an internal struggle in 2009 - a struggle to change myself for the things i wanted in the future. the past 2 years have felt like a metamorphosis of sorts. i learnt that balancing everything - work, friends, study, relationships - is an act that i have yet to perfect. i definitely lost balance where i failed property, and for that i'm deeply regretful. i know i could've done it had i pushed myself a little more. i lacked the drive last year, but no more excuses. i shall give myself a good shove and trudge forward determinedly. :)
and so i find myself feeling hopeful and excited, looking forward. my new year's resolutions for this year come by the truckload. for charles, i will be more patient, and less stubborn. more forgiving and more forgetting. for my friends, i will be better. i will make the time to listen, to be there, for big things or small things. friends, if you're reading this, please remember my resolution!! don't assume i'm too busy or i don't want to hear your problems or even to know what's going on in your life, cause i very much do :) for my family, i will spend more time with them and make it home for more dinners. for myself, i will be more diligent and conscientious. i shall not let myself slip away from the things that i don't want to do, but i will try to approach it with an attitude of doing the best i can. i will handle my time more efficiently and be more proactive.
out with the old, in with the new!
i have a good feeling about 2010 ;) and i'm gonna make it happen.
happy new year!
