It’s about an hour to the New Year, and here I am sitting at home on my bed, all dressed and ready to play some sparkles with the friends I grew up with from childhood. While everyone is eagerly awaiting a new beginning to the New Year, a fresh start, second chances and all bad things to go away, perhaps we should take a step back, stop, and think. 

Reflect about everything that has happened this past year of 2011, whether good or bad. Think about what you liked about this year, and what you didn’t. Think about what could have been better about it, and know that you can always make a change next year to make the following year more awesome. 

I think about all the things I’ve done, and to be honest, there is not a moment about 2011 that I regret. I was foolish, I made mistakes, I made sacrifices, I hurt someone that means the world to me, I fell in and out of love, I neglected people. The list is countless, but I guess sometimes, that’s what New Year’s Eve is for.

It’s the day where we actually take the time to look back at the past year, and make mental note to ourselves that we will change for the better. It’s to remind us of all the people that mean so much to us, and at the same time, a reminder to tell us that such people are worth to keep in our lives. 

Then when the clock strikes twelve, we make that promise to ourselves that when 2012 rolls in, we’re going to make that year amazing. We’re going to keep the promises that we’ve made, learn from our mistakes, take on new challenges, rekindle old relationships that we have neglected, love someone for who they are, make new friends and explore the world. 

And on a high note, I wish everyone a very Happy New Year ahead! Have a riot!
