2018

the sky of taipei that i loved so dearly, 2017 June

New year, new start? Or are we just trying to delude ourselves? The million dollar question on my mind whenever a new year starts. Why do people use new year as an excuse to start anew when everyday is a brand new start? Is it easier to abandon all wrongs and regrets of past year and start everything with a clean slate. However, just because a new year has starts, doesn't mean everything restarted, right?


Right, but doesn't matter, I fell for it anyway.


New year, new start.


There's no point complaining how bad of a year 2017 was for me since every year has been the same up till now. One thing for sure is that I've grown tremendously from those said lessons and I'm grateful for it. I could only hope 2018 is the year where I would push myself out of my comfort zone no matter how uncomfortable I may be.  I hope 2018 would be the year where I stand firm to my stand and am not easily swayed. I hope 2018 would be the year where I finally find my balance.


As bad as 2017 was, I sure did had some of the fondest memories. I've met a lot of amazing humans, but I've parted with a lot of them too. That's actually one of the lesson I've learnt and am still learning: to let go no matter how much I don't want to. My father once said to me the one thing he admire of me was how everything was an easy come and easy go for me. I couldn't see his reasoning back then but I guess I do see it now.


Ah, that's a sigh and enlightenment. To a better year, hopefully.
