I live in a world of fantasy...

I get lost in the beauty of everything I see,
The world ain't half as bad as they paint it to be.
If all the sons and all the daughters stop to take it in,
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin.

Goodbye 2011

2011 has probably been one of the toughest, yet greatest, years I’ve had. I always thought it was a bad year, up until September. When I went abroad, I realized that this was a wonderful year. The friendships I made, the experiences I had, the opportunities I was given—both here and abroad—have been priceless. I know next year will hold many obstacles, but with what I’ve gained this year, I am more than ready to face whatever comes my way. Goodbye 2011; 2012, let’s do this! 

Permalink We all struggle in life. Whether it’s with money, friends, family, work—there is always something to make us feel like we’re not good enough. The truth is, we’re all great in our own way. But the minute we begin comparing ourselves to someone else, is the minute we lose the battle. Just because you’re not where someone else is, doesn’t mean you’re no where. Who says that the place you’re standing right this moment isn’t the place someone else would like to be? You’re no where could be someone else’s somewhere. There will be people achieving things in life that you wish you achieved, but that 1) doesn’t mean you still can’t achieve that thing and 2) shouldn’t be a reason for you to give up trying something else. Just because you don’t have something someone else has, doesn’t mean you don’t have anything at all. Your life is what you make of it. So make it a good one. 
Permalink You have to admit, Christmas is one of the most precious holidays—lights, tree, decorations, family gatherings, Santa Clause, presents, and if we’re lucky, snow. =) There is something about this time of the year that makes everyone both happy and sad. Happy because they are getting to see their loved ones and sad because after this holiday, they are broke. =p Christmas is a wonderful day, everyone deserves to enjoy it to the fullest. To those spending it with their loved ones, don’t forget to give them a hug and tell them you love them. Even if they get on your nerves sometimes, at the end of the day, you are who you are because of them. To those spending it alone, put on a Christmas movie, make some hot chocolate, write, read, dance, do things you love doing. Go back to doing work tomorrow; enjoy today. =) Merry Christmas everyone!
