2009.

2009,

what as year you have been.

There was a lot of emotional ups and downs, since the beginning, 'till the end. You were a rough year for me, definitely. I cried, I laughed, I smiled, I frowned. I cannot bring myself to say that you were the worst year for me so far, because you are the best year that I had, but i believe that the years ahead of me will be blessed with more blissful memories that i will treasure 'till the day of my awaiting corpse. I've met so many new friends, and I learned how to love them for each on their own. I have some new best friends, but that doesn't mean my old ones are replaced. I love each and every person I met throughout this whole year, and I want to keep them 'till it is time for me to go.

It was tough, adjusting to a new school, having new friends, absorbing new knowledge that was waaaaay out of my league, but i made it through the year. I managed to slither my way through the year happily and cheerfully! It was never easy, but everything was worth the effort and hard work.

I used to be a doll, fake smiles and plastered innocence.
I used to think that i was living in a black and white, glum, solitary world, but this year, my world was colored. No more fake smiles, no more fake happiness.

thank you 2009, for changing me.
