Time is ticking closer to the end of 2011. As this year wraps, I’m making peace with choices I’ve made and I remind myself to believe in the best of me – as there are no right choices, only better ones. I have been waiting for so long for today. I am clearly excited and thrilled as I often am; wrapped with that strange sense of animated childlike delight, every time a New Year marches in and with nothing short of a feeble embrace, lifts me endearingly, into its arms.
This has been an unusual year, and in particular this month has been odd. Odd not so much for what has occurred externally but rather for what has transpired within me. What a ride, indeed, saying goodbye to those who close out their chapter in my story of my life, to new friendships who have become cherished partners.
From a personal platform, I hold no complaints about a kindly 2011. It’s a year full of self-discovery. On retrospection, I found myself falling in and out of love that I experienced so much emotions I never imagined I would have to deal as a 17-year old. Although I didn’t achieve anything great academically, I am proud to say I have no regrets- just lessons learned. 2011 has also brought me to my knees in how I do things and how I look at myself. I always thought I knew me really well, until I decided to take a couple of risks…Real ones. Only time will tell the outcome.. And as I reminisce, I realize how fortunate I am, so incredibly blessed and I hope one day you’ll realize this too- that your life is enough as it is.
I don’t intend to make a list of New Year resolution as I have done that in the past and most of them failed miserably. I just have two- 1) Read more books 2) Do not get too attached to anyone. Insya’Allah. Now I just look forward to events in my life that I think or know will happen to me and things I hope to achieve and do with myself.
I’m just excited to see what God has in store for me. There will be a huge change definitely and this is the year I fight for acceptance in many levels – understanding opportunity, dreams and reality. The future isn’t promised, but we can hold true to our belief in that there is a fresh start around the corner with an awakening new year and a chance to renew our commitments to ourselves and others.
