No. I can’t believe it’s coming to an end. Maybe I don’t want it to.

2011 has been all sorts of awesome for me. I may not remember every single thing that I did of every single day for 365 days, but I do remember making good decisions and meeting awesome people, and with them combined, a box full of memories.

This was the year I ended my “phase” [so to speak], the year I lost something very dear to me [not that I regret it], the year of many firsts. The year I realized that my dreams of becoming a lawyer weren’t really my dreams, that I had an “artist” inside me [or maybe this is what I want to make myself believe]. I found inspiration and I learned how to execute—and voila, the little photographer [that is me] started to bloom.

I got introduced to people who I only used to see in magazines, on TV, heard on the radio [or heard of]. They draw, paint, shoot, whistle, talk, design, spin, [and most importantly, inspire]. I’m proud to say they’re a part of my new found family [or maybe it would be better to write that I’m a part of theirs]. I was exposed to a whole new different world I never thought I’d belong to, I’d love, I’d embrace. Salamat sa inyo.

Most importantly, this year, I fell in love. I fell in love with the most kind-hearted, non-superficial, and very talented person [7 years my senior] who has showed me a different side of the world by changing my perspective, has helped me grow [not physically though], has motivated me, and has molded me to the person I am today. For this, I thank you.

Yes. I believe it’s coming to an end. Maybe I want it to.

I know 2012 will be awesome as well, as long as I thrive to not fail, and as long as I make the best decisions.

Plus, the awesome bonus is that I know that those people I met during 2011 [and the years before that] will always be there to guide and support. Motivate and inspire. Be. 

Here’s to another 365 days [+1 because it’s a leap year]. *Cheers*

P.S. I’m a horrible writer.
P.P.S. I will keep using the words awesome, motivate/motivation, inspire/inspiration because they’re the truth.
