Can you believe that 2012 is just around the corner?!
It’s hard to grasp the fact that 2011 is ending.. but to be honest, I am glad that it is. This year was filled with tears, hardship and so much pain – but at the same time, I’m glad it happened. I feel like the experiences helped me to grow up a bit, and just become a better person overall. I guess my posts reflect that – if you’ve noticed, a lot of the colour has been drained. But that isn’t saying I still don’t believe that colour will brighten up your world, I just feel like that sometimes it’s good to be dull and boring and grey. Because life isn’t always a rainbow. Even if we wish it was. ♥
Anyway, as I’ve said, 2011 has been a very difficult and hard year for me but also a year filled with new experience.
I experienced death, heartbreak, fear, loss, illness, depression and loneliness.
But as I said, I believe this has made in to a stronger person and I can definitely say that I have learnt from these experiences. And it makes sense to call 2011 a year of maturity and experiences. It was the year that I first experienced a job interview, stress from work, a real part time job, difficulty in university, a university club committee, priority problems, blood test, questioned myself and the path I chose …and I finally opened my eyes to the problems in my life.

So I am happy to bid 2011 goodbye, and am awaiting a fresh new start with 2012!
See you all in the New Year! ♥

It sure has been quite a roller coaster ride of a year. I feel that I’ve learnt from a lot of experiences this year too and that it’s probably made me a better person as well. Here’s hoping that next year will be brighter! :]
I love you <3
Yes, experiences help us grow up ahuh!
And I love you so much more :3
aww melody, reading back on your old posts makes me miss you. ahh you’re first impression of why we’re so tall :*)
i’m sure 2012 will be a much better year for chuu <3
I miss you too! :( ..and you guys ARE TALL ;A; I’m like a little midget next to you ! tehe <3
Ah! Your posts HAVE been pretty quiet with colours! Still, I think your pictures are quite colourful~
Sounds like you had a tough 2011 – I hope 2012 is better! Will be looking forward to your future posts next year (which is less than twenty-four hours away)!
Ooh yes! A lot of my photos are colourful so I guess that makes up for it 8D ! And ahhhhh, it’s so insane to think that tomorrow is next year @_@!
It’s funny but if you ask people who’ve been through the toughest time in their life, a lot of them will say they wouldn’t take it back because it really does make you stronger. I went through a bad case of depression a few years ago and I always say, I wouldn’t take that year back. It’s shaped me to be much happy since I fought it off!! I’m glad that you’ve grown stronger because of it and I hope you have a great new year!!
That’s definitely true.
And eugh, depression is a horrible thing but I’m so happy that it helped you become a stronger person! I wish that some of the things that happened this year didn’t happen but I wouldn’t deny that it did help make me stronger! And thank you <3 I hope your New Year is definitely awesome!
I hope the new year brings positive things for you, and all your worries of the past sort themselves out. ^^ Job interviews, work and uni stress everyone out but you just have to focus on all the wonderful things going on in your life. :]
Thank you dear! I hope that your New Year brings much happiness, good luck and love too :D !
