It was a very good year, filled with tears and sad farewells that somehow metamorphosed into warmth. I realized how fleeting relationships can be and how you cannot be physically connected with your friends and family all the time. It is important to say what you feel and never censor yourself. Always live in the moment with drunk excitement. It was a year filled with utter confusion that taught me that I am not in control. The process of learning to let go has been bittersweet. New discoveries, new adventures, new friends excited me pleasurably.
High points of the year:
I read tons of books and listened to new music, ate dinner and laughed with my family after one year of being away, peed at a park in Geneva (and later smoked joint with the crazy French guy), bathed at a public toilet at the Charles de Gaulle airport (how is this physically possible merits another post), climbed a mountain during winter and braved the rain, heavy winds and snow, learned to play hearts on a train to Barcelona, almost killed (but luckily did not) a kid while surfing in Waikiki, finally went down to Palawan, swam in a volcano's crater, learned the Tinikling, got a master's degree....
Can't wait to see what the new year has lined up for me. I'm hoping some oh la la.
