Time flies, and 2012 was awesome. Ups and downs were definitely there. I wish technology somehow would ever help me record, save, keep, and copy everything I saw and felt into a CD so they would be there forever to be tools for people to learn, embrace, and feel grateful. 2012 definitely gave me so many things to learn and think about.
As days passed, I understand more about what exactly life offers and that life works in a funny unexpected way. I may not be able to figure out how to live and deal with it well yet, but I know one thing for sure, differences in perspective are beautiful. 2012 gave me that lesson. I used to hate having arguments, but now I somehow enjoy hearing words that represent perspective from other people. I know I don't have to agree with it, but things other people choose, how they perceive life and the world, what they want in life, and many other things are definitely enriching. I used to hate meeting new people and starting conversation, but now as bad and as nervous I am to start new conversation, the idea and possibility of figuring out new things pushes me to be more daring to do things I didn't have the courage to do before. And guess what, I may not be able to explain how those things affect me as a person (even though they definitely do), I can tell you that I met so many great people. I become friends with some of them, and they are wonderful. We actually have different world in our minds, and our ideas of how life should be handled are also varied. But somehow, we still manage to keep the conversations flowing and share laughter at the same time.
Tears were also part of 2012. They help me determine things that hurt me. Then I understood how life can hurt and work in an unpleasant way, and therefore I need to be prepared for it. They kicked me in the ass and woke me up. They told me to be a tougher person than I was before. They wanted me to embrace life even more. Again, I may not have done it well, but at least now I know that I should.
2012 was awesome.
And dear 2013, I bet you would be pain in the ass sometimes, but I do hope some good stuff will come out of you too. I do want so many things to happen and occur in this year, and it may be hard to mention it one by one. But I really want to absorb everything that will happen around me. I want to see, hear, feel, write, and share more.
Thanks 2012 for getting me ready to welcome 2013 :)
