adieu 2017.
the year of becoming.
a lot has happened, thus, a lot has changed; many things arrived, too soon, many has left.
it has been harsh but it has been a great journey. the important parts are the lessons learned:
- it doesn't matter how little you receive, what's important is how much you've given not in terms of quantity but of intensity--err, you get it.
- it's okay if you don't like what other people like, and it's okay if you like things other people don't like. there's no point in taste-shaming. most people will always have something to say but 'your' people will understand why you like things, without necessarily liking them too.
- people, no matter how much you love them or how much they tell you they love you, will leave. let them. free your heart.
- in your whole life, the most important thing is yourself. you don't deserve to be a second priority. you can study anytime, you can find other work, you can see your friends next time, your mental health should always be put first.
- many people will doubt about your dreams, your ideas, yourself even. as much as possible, keep it all to yourself and own your results. they will soon ask for advise. they will soon tell other people how they met you.
2017 has been the platform of my visions and ideas, i figured out what i really want in life and what i'd do with it so i'm going to enter 2018 with the right mindset, and no more 'i-don't-know-what-to-do' attitude.
i love new year, to me, it means you have another chance to change your life. so do something about it.
life is always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.
then do it.
