I don't know how I can describe how amazing summer was. It is a bittersweet moment to realize those memorable summer days are now behind me, but I know for a fact that fall will be just as good. I analyzed how 2012 was and all I can say is that it's been the best fucking year YET. I don't know how many times I can repeat myself about this, but I absolutely love reconnecting with old friends or acquaintances. After high school I prepared myself and expected to lose a lot of friends, but little did I know that I would have stronger friendships and relationships with people who I wouldn't expect to be close to. I am grateful for the people in my life, especially my family and friends. Despite all the unfortunate events that occurred this year, they put me in a high position in life. They pushed me to learn life lessons and to love life more than I ever thought I could. Let's take this whole drunk driver accident as an example. It left me car-less since July. Yes, it's been a quite nuisance, but considering that school is starting, I do not have to find parking, pay for a parking permit, nor fork over about 200$ a month for gas. To top it all off, I hate driving anyway. It's funny how such a horrible incident turned into some sort of a blessing. Hehehe.
This year, I made a break through with my family. I overcame the hardest obstacle in my life and so much has been lifted off my shoulders. I'm building the ideal relationship with my family that I always wanted, especially with my dad. This year, I got over a devastating heartbreak. I am forever grateful for this experience, because it taught me so much more than I could ever imagine. I did not necessarily need to "recover" from this moment in life. Instead, I was able to finally see reality and create a more desirable life for myself. I am in no need to accommodate to the likes and needs of others because I have solely myself to focus on. I'm not hesitant to hold back on living life. I am able to express myself to the fullest while still learning and creating life as the days go on (this does not mean getting knocked up). This year, I was able to do the things I've always wanted. I finally took a road trip with friends to San Francisco, purchased my Coachella tickets, see some of my childhood memories perform right before my eyes in concert, etc. The plans I have in store in fall is to die for. I can hardly contain myself. So far, in October I have about 5 concerts already booked and in November or December I'm planning to do a getaway weekend to NYC to experience and see snow firsthand!
Okay I'm going to stop myself now because I could go on about how much I'm looking forward to these next couple of months. Hehehe.
Happy Thursday!
XOXO
