I cannot thank God enough for this year. Things in my bucket list have been ticked off one by one. Graduating from college, seeing flying lanterns, going abroad, going back to my hometown, and fulfilling my new year resolution (for the first time!). And of course, there are other things beside the bucket list and resolution that I’m immensely grateful for. Meeting my old friend after 5 years of not seeing each other and ending up with traveling with her, loving someone and being loved, having close friends to rely on, and many more. Of course, the road hasn’t been all smooth and comfortable. There were times when it was bumpy, and other times it was painful to keep the ride on, but I passed it. I fail much and learn more.

So… Thank you, dear God, for 2012.

May the journey ahead become as wondrous as it has been.

The longest journey is the journey inwards.
