Time travels in the blink of an eye. Some might say it is even faster than that. Regardless, the main takeaway is how time come and gone become memories and how we savour these emotions, lessons and visuals on hindsight, in solitude, sometimes in tears and others in lingering sweetness.

Resolutions, promises, expectations.

New friends, new jobs, new stresses.

A year has come and gone. Whether it is a good one is debatable. I'm glad I handled the new-found stresses with spectacular form. All expectations were pacified and I would have been able to do what I have wanted. On top of that, I did juggle staying away and being so occupied well. Thank you for having faith in me. I love you all.

This year is a highly symbolic one for me. I came of age and I manage my own life, deal with my own mistakes. It is a empowering position to be in. After all, don't all kids want to grow up and dictate their own life. But it really isn't that simple. I'm glad I can look anyone in their face and tell them I did my dad proud. I'm glad I can say with conviction that I know what I want to do with my life and I'm glad I can say with tears in my eyes that I am loved, by friends and family.

Thank you for placing your trust in me. Thank you for valuing what I have and am able to give. Thank you for believing that I will not disappoint again.
