do you remember last year?
me neither.
So without counting all the great things I have read (so many books), or the crazy and graeat things I have seen (so, so many movies) I present my year in short sentences and random words:
- Turning 19 and understanding that I actually have been pretending to be grown up for quite some time now, I didn’t need the conformation. I accepted it.
- High school, last year of high school, was actually pretty good. I went to Paris? Yeah, crazy how I keep forgetting…only thing I remember is waking up 15 min before the bus to the airport was supposed to come, but hey I came home alright, and in the end I managed, against all odds, to finish with really good grades and accomplished more than I thought I ever could. Graduating from high school, and not really feeling “free” like most people would describe it. I felt really happy, and looking forward to whatever would come next. Sad to say goodbye to some, but one must let go and move on. I did that.
- Summer, oh the summer! This past summer has been one of the best, (not as great as 07’ but that would require a lot) I was lazy enough to watch so many movies, both alone and have traditional late-late movie nights with the brothers, motivated enough to read a lot of great books and smart enough to get an internship that I would appreciate to the fullest!
So I didn’t go places or see many people and I stayed at home most of the time, but I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the summer, apart from the weather. And like I say, time you enjoy spending is not time wasted. At least not always.
- Getting accepted to and starting university! How could I even comment on this? It has been so great so far. I have been so lucky to meet such nice and lovely people that I after the first week would consider my friends. At the same time I have learned so much and I actually enjoyed learning it. There were ups and downs, of course, but somehow I have managed to stay in place. Balancing it all. Somehow.
- Went through my first loss and grief without really knowing how to act. I think I did pretty good.
- Realizing there is so much more in this world, inside and out. Realizing my younger brothers will transform into people with their own personalites. Realizing you can’t change someone who doesn’t want change. Realizing that everyone can change. Realizing I like my friends, a lot. Realizing, maybe the hard way, that when you want something bad enough, when asking God to help you, He does.
And last but not least, realizing that I too can make a difference. The world is mine as much as it’s anyone else’s.
