Singapore, December 30 2011
Somehow, I never make any resolutions when New Year comes. I
make resolutions on my birthday for a reason, to me, my new year is my
birthday. However, let's embrace the new number in our calendars. 2011 is
changing to 2012 in no time. A year went by. Memories were made.
Feelings have changed and sometimes our life, too, has changed. For all
the despair in 2011, I had so much meaningful lessons and for that,
here's something as a closure.My life has seen yet another year through and I would like to say thank you to 2011 for all the things that had happened.
Thank you to Sue & Kak Ryan for bringing me along and making it as my very first travel to Batam. It was a great celebration of Chinese New Year. The high tea at Shangri-La hotel was splendid, too.
Thank you for letting me visit Kuala Lumpur again. and for this time, I'm sending another gratitude for sending me Febrina Medya as a helpful guide. I enjoyed it.
Thank you for the awesome trip to Bali, Lombok & Gili Trawangan as my birthday present. It was a really really astounding and wonderful trip. I fell in love with Gili Trawangan and made a promise I'll return again someday. I sure will.
Thank you for the excellent job and the salary increment you gave me. I did enjoy my job, and still do.
Thank you for the adorable colleagues. Never knew they would make good friends, even better than my school mates.
Thank you for the affair. It was bittersweet but made me a much stronger person.
Thank you for the separation. I would have never thought that everything that comes in pairs is so precious until I lost one of them. I would have never noticed how important small things are, until they have suddenly gone. I'm humbly grateful for everything I have now.
Thank you for bringing him back to me. I still don't know whether I ought to say this but anyway, I was glad he made a comeback.
Thank you for a short time of Long Distance Relationship between me and him. It taught me many lessons, it made me cerish our companionship even more.
Thank you for, eventually, making the "LOVE" word exist between me and him. It was something I long to hear for more than a year. something that made me so convinced, happy and feel loved.
Thank you for letting me be closer to his family and friends. No matter what, they have a special place in my heart.
Thank you for the break up again. It hurt, extremely hurt. But who am I to get upset for something I have no control over? At times, to truly love someone forces us to be less selfish. And by encouraging myself to walk away and let him — who wishes to be free— go no matter how much it hurts, I gave him my love.
And thank you to you. for dominating this year, for the love, for the unbearable pains, for the irreplaceable loss, for your adorable friends and lovely family, for making me a much stronger person; you made a great partner. the only thing I'd blame you for is making me fall deep in love with you and just leave me hanging here. as you left me with no goodbye, I just want you to know one thing, that.. even if it fell apart, even if it hurt me, I knew the dream that once mattered had come true. I was loved by you. and for that —once again— thank you.
Thank you 2011, I'm getting you over and done with. Thank you for the fall, I'll get up twice stronger. Looking forward to a much more awesome year ahead. Bring it on, 2012!
Love,
DindaZein
