goodbye 2016♡
Another year has passed by. It didn't seem particularly fast, but now that it's gone, it feels odd. It was as if 2016 passed by without me really noticing. Perhaps 2016 was such an overwhelming year that I didn't really pay attention to the passing of time.
2016 was a year of surprises. Many, many surprises. From achieving things that I never thought were possible, to travelling to completely new places, I was constantly amazed by all the new things I was exposed to. 2016 was definitely full of struggles, but looking back, surprisingly, the first things I recalled were happy memories. There are so many things I'm grateful for, so many of which I wouldn't even think of asking for.
Early 2016 was when I truly broke free from something that had burdened me for over three years. I had put myself through so much suffering and pain due to my stubborness, and I was unable to put it down. I cared about it so much that it ended up hurting me, so I'm glad that I finally gathered the courage and determination to let myself go, and leave everything behind. In 2016, I went from struggling painfully to finally forgiving myself for my shortcomings. By the end of 2016, I was able to give thanks for the lessons I had learnt through all the struggles.
With a free spirit, I was able to see things with a brighter light. Because of that, I learnt to appreciate the good things that came into my life even more.
I was able to spend my 2016 with many wonderful people. I've mentioned it before numerous times, but I spent many years of my life without any friends. Such experiences allowed me to treasure the wonderful people around me even more. In this past year, I'm thankful for being able to maintain a lot of my good relationships with my friends. It's because of them that I feel more stable and secure. Besides the people who had kindly stayed by my side for another year, I'm also more than grateful for the wonderful people I met in the past year. Thanks for sharing so much about your life with me, and making me realize that lots of kind hearts exist on this world.
In this past year, I was also lucky enough to explore new places. I had the amazing chance to go to Boston, which marked my first time leaving Asia. It seemed very surreal to me as everything there looked so different from what I had seen before, and life there was a completely new feeling. I still can't comprehend how it all happened, but I'm grateful that I was able to broaden my horizons and see something so different from what I was used to. Through the trip, I also met and bonded with new people, which made the whole experience even better.
Possibly the best thing that happened to me in 2016 was achieving something beyond my imagination. I was fortunate enough to be granted a subject prize. It still seems unreal to me, as it's not something that I could easily hope for. Competition is generally quite tough, so even if I worked hard, I might not have even gotten close to it. I did go the extra mile and study everything well, but never did I imagine anything like this. I still think there's someone who deserves this prize much more than I do, but since my luck has brought me such a great achievement, I feel nothing but thankfulness in my heart. Instead of an extra burden, it has become one of my biggest source of motivation. I might not ever get chances like this again in the future, but this prize reminds me of my effort and reassures me slightly about my (nonexistent) ability. Keeping that in mind, I'll continue to work hard and uphold the spirit of trying my best.
Form three ended with lots of regrets. I had a lot of weaknesses, and my mental state was never the best. I struggled a lot with my self confidence, and I always became anxious about everything. Despite promising myself to think positively during exams, I couldn't help doubting my own ability, and blaming myself for not trying hard enough. I'm still pretty much the same now, but after all the pain and struggles, I think I've learnt how to better deal with my emotions. I'll pour in all my effort, and do everything within my ability, right until the very end. If I've tried my best, I know that I won't feel any regrets, and God will lead me on the path that's best for me. I'll firmly believe in that, and I'll continue working hard in the coming year to become a stronger and better person.
One thing I'm also very grateful of this year is being able to choose electives. I'm very bad at studying, and I despise it with all my heart, especially when I don't like the subjects. Therefore, I'm glad that I was able to find three subjects that I truly loved from the bottom of my heart. No matter how bad I'm doing, or how much I'm struggling, I know I'll continue trying because I love the subjects, and it feels satisfying to learn such knowledge. It really doesn't matter if I'm doing well at it or not, what matters is that I'm learning things that I can be proud of. I'm grateful for coming across such subjects that I really enjoy studying, and are applicable in real life. I'll work even harder so that I truly understand what I'm doing, so that I can put these skills and knowledge to good use in real life.
Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who was part of my 2016. Those who listened to me rant, those who kindly told me their stories, those who consoled me when I was upset, thsoe who worked with me towards the same goal, and even those whom I just encountered once or twice. Without you, I don't think my year would've been so colourful and vivid. Thanks for making 2016 an unforgettable year.
Not everything has been perfect this year, but it's alright because things are ought to be this way. I'm not sure about the future yet, but I believe that this year I've been led onto a path that's right for me. I still feel lost and conflicted sometimes, but that's why I'll live this next year well -- so I can continue finding myself. I know that slowly, bit by bit, I'll find myself, and come to understand what I truly need and wish for. I'm not strong enough yet, but as long as I continue trying, I trust that I'll find the answer someday.
My past will become my strength, and my future will become my biggest motivation. I'll continue working hard with hope and passion, and I'll find my motivation eventually. I hope that I grow to become a stronger and kinder person, so that I can bring smile and laughter into everyone's lives in the future.
