2010 Reflections
So, it’s the end of 2010. To make up for the dearth of posts, I shall write a long, thoughtful post that encompasses all the feelings I have at this exact moment.
It’s that time of reflection again, but I feel 2010 was a year where I was able to grow a lot from. If 2009 was a year where it all began (relationship, career, adulthood, etc), year 2010 was when I actually finally grew up slowly. 2010 marks many achievements on my personal to-do list, although I have never wrote them down. It has always, always, given me much joy to be able to cross an item off my to-do list so you can imagine how it feels to be able to cross off items from a year’s worth of to-do items!
But 2010 was also a year of loss to me, which I would not like to disclose here in details here but it has to do with losing myself and what makes me me, piece by piece. I have pondered over and over again, yes I have gained much in leaps and bounds. I have found my footing in work and life, but there has come a cost – of course, stemming from my workaholic behaviour. Therefore, it is my personal mission to make 2011 a year where I take one step back. No longer will I allow one aspect of my life to consume me more than ever.
So as per tradition dictates, my highs and lows of the year 2011:
High:
1. Having my family here at Damas. Seriously, that opened up a world that has not been accessible to me for awhile and I am happy for that.
2. Travelling. Bali and Germany. The latter was especially an experience to remember since I travelled miles and miles all by myself for the first time!
3. Hitting the two year benchmark. :)
4. Being able to do some lead stories I am very proud of for work. They are not perfect but I do wanna improve.
5. Reconnecting with old friends. Big heart and love.
Lows:
1. The price I paid for being self-involved
2. Two good friends moving away – both who I felt spent little time and not enough with since I started working.
As they say, we live….and we learn.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2011 all!
