MOON MOON

I am usually not one to wax poetic during new year. I thought dividing the passage of time into neat months and years is primarily for convenience's sake and so saying this or that year is good or bad didn't mean much to me back then. I suppose that's because years tend to blend into each other for me. Nothing significant happens to set one year apart from another.

However, this year has been a particularly good year for me. You need only to scroll down to get a glimpse of how down I was last year. It was a bad time for me and I thought I would continue to look back on it with sadness and regret. Not to sound banal but this year makes me want to believe that everything happens for a reason. Special things happened to me this year that was only possible because of the events that transpired last year.

I do not know what the future will bring. I want to believe that things will continue to look up but obviously I don't know that for sure. At the very least, I will be motivated by the fact that this year happened, that there is indeed a silver lining.

This year I rekindled old friendships, learned intimacy and did things that made me happy. I am grateful that this year happened to me and that I allowed things to happen to me without resisting. If I had continued to overthink, I don't think I would reach this stage I am in now.

I hope next year will be just as good but if it doesn't I will continue to face it head on.
