Looking Back and Beyond

The new year’s arrived and left with the contemplation bandwagon, but since I am starting 2013 late, allow me to look back then beyond.



How would I describe the past year? Tumultuous, that’s for sure but I think I aptly named 2012 as the Year of Heartbreak. With what happened at home, previous office and in love life, it is a deserving name. Revisiting those arduous moments seems so discouraging so I won’t go there, again.





Of course, there were moments that I feel grateful: the new work, though as stressful as it is, and the travel that I’ve done last year. The new things I learned from overcoming challenges as well as the people that I’ve met during those times.



Sadly 2012 ended with a sad note. Being hospitalized during the new year’s eve did not really allow me to leave 2012 with a blast, did it?



I who said hello to 2012 is definitely different from I who said goodbye to the past year. I am just hoping it is all for the better. Well, you judge.



Oh 2012 resolution, you asked? I am not really good at keeping resolutions so no, I didn’t get either my driving license or diving license this year, so I might carry these to 2013.



I am keeping hopes up but expectation low for 2013. However, I am adding one new resolution for this year, and that is compiling my travelogue in a book.



And I really need to decide on these two thoroughly different routes: climbing the corporate ladder or going back to carefree life of doing what I feel like to do. One is about being a proper adult and using your brain, and the other one is being a lifetime youth and listening to what my heart says. Classic battle of security versus creativity.



The answer might be simple but the complications might not. You might not think it as an exclusive option, but to me right now, it is.



Well I might as well find 2013 an interesting year. Positively interesting, that is :)
