Another year is coming to an end. There are literally 14
days left and I am so not ready for that. This year has been a roller coaster on
so many levels. I don’t know even where to begin.
New year's resolutions? Well, the ones that I made four years
ago are still waiting for me to take care of them. So, probably no. Because
life does not work that way. I already have lived so many unexpected things
this year. It is not going to be according to my resolutions anyway.
Avicii says, ‘he said one day you will leave this world
behind, so live a life you will remember.’* But isn’t all lives worth
remembering? I remember everything I have come across in this life. Not all of
them were thrilling or necessarily pleasant. But still, all of them were
memorable. So, the concept of living a
full of life is overrated. Life is already full of something. We just have to
be there- physically and more importantly emotionally.
Last year I spent my last week of the year watching all the
cheesy Christmas movies alone in my humble flat- thanks to the pandemic. And
because I was living on the ground floor, I only heard the fireworks when it's the
new year. This year, I am living on the top floor with my roommate. And moreover, I am going to spend the new year on the London streets with my best
friends. That is life.
Is there anything in particular that I'm looking forward to
this year? Nothing, to be honest. Of course, I have some goals on a personal and
academic level, like I do every year. But, as long as I am alive, I'm going to
make them happen anyway (sooner or later). That is not something I am really concerned
about. It is a little sad that since I have almost everything in my life, there
are very few things that excite me now. That is the downside of accomplishing
most of your dreams. But that is also, life.
The highlights of this year have been starting to cycle,
learning to meditate, and moving into a wonderful flat. In addition, I believe
I am growing to be more accepting of myself. Even though these are just baby
steps, I am enjoying the process. Also, I couldn’t be prouder. Yeah,
that pretty much sums it up. I am going to learn to say this out loud more this
year.
Happy new year, folks.
