Gonna Shed My Skin and Walk Away

blessings.


09 has arrived and it's pretty scary how 08 just flew right by.. i feel like it was just yesterday that i was walking the streets of Manchester with mainey and getting cheap food from Sainsbury's.

it has not been an easy road, this past year. but i'd like to think that i've learnt and gained quite a bit. be it from new friends that i've made and the insights that they bring, experiences of falling and scrapping my knees raw or through the experience of friendships that i've lost.
through it all, i'm thankful for the people i have around me.. the best of whom have stood by me through the tough and crazy times, who tried their best to make sure that i end up on the other side, although bruised, but still kicking strong (:
awesome awesome friends i have, who despite the miles between us, still never fail to surprise me sometimes and show me how much they care. lessons i've learnt from them, i'll take with me throughout my life (:

as drey said, it's the perception and outlook towards things that we take with us that makes a difference. how true, indeed. it boils down to the idea of positivity, because it's how you look at life that defines the way you handle situations.
i know that i may have big dreams, but as long as i keep the faith and work continuously towards it, no matter what other people might say or believe.. that dream can only become reality.
but i'm only human, and i am bound to stumble along the way when my faith falters. luckily enough, i also have the coolest people around me, who help me up, encourage me to brush off my knees and carry on my way.

so thank you, sincerely (:

with that, my resolutions for 09 are... to be a better daughter, a better friend. to have stronger faith and a stronger drive.

may the new year be a blessed and kickass one for all of you out there (:
