Goodbye 2013!

I write this while having a glass of red wine. (I’ve already guzzled some gin and whiskey) But what the hell! It is New Year’s Eve! It is a cliché to write a year end’s note and all that crap. But for once I felt like entering into mainstream and just go with the flow. I’m going to start on with a very random note…I will not make any paragraphs for this post. Yeah…I’m a rebellious punk! Tee hee! So…here it goes… I wouldn’t really call it a great year. It was absolutely bullocks! Really…This year tested me. More than the highs, I kept on hitting the lows. I felt sucker punched 95% of the time. But the rest 5% was bearable because of my family and friends. I don’t know what I would have done without them. I’m not going to mention any names because the list will be really long. This year taught me couple of things…it taught me to deal with my insecurities and made me realize the fact that though people find other people, it doesn’t change the bond and sentiments that you share with them (if that made any ounce of sense).Life is already complicated. And I get by with a little bit help from friends (Beatles FTW!).  Right now I feel a million things, if that is possible. I guess that’s what makes us human…the ability to feel many complex emotions all at once. Isn’t that marvelous? I don’t really know what else to write  more…my struggles, the people I met, n number of letters that I wrote, the number of times I cried, the times when a warm hug from a friend made things a little bit better, the number of times I got involved with characters from different novels, etc. No amount of words can express all that I felt in this year. It all boils down to only one question – Was it worth it? Of course it was. It has left me better equipped to face new challenges, to learn from my mistakes and grow as a person. That sounds really bull crap coming from a person who is a hardcore cynic. But it is true. This hasn’t been a ‘literary’ post or any soul touching piece of literature, but it is an honest attempt to get across all the emotions that have dwelled within me. Here’s bidding goodbye to 2013. And I hope 2014 brings a lot of good things for all of us. Take care until the next post. Much love…
