The end has come for the start of a new beginning.

I feel like it's appropriate if I write a post now; to sum up how my 2013 was in words. This year (still 2013) would be the only year where I think it's safe to say for me, that I've had the most experiences yet. I gained the most courage to do things that I'd have never in a million years thought I'd do, I fell in and out of love with the same person and from that I learnt to forgive. I lived without my parents for a year without getting into trouble! There are so many new people I've met and made friends with and thankfully made zero enemies - at least I hope I didn't make any - and I am eternally grateful to have met all of those people. And not to mention, I went back home in London. I got to see my second family again, which was probably one of the highlight of my year.

The people that made my year bearable would probably be my cousin, her boyfriend (Rizam) and my best friend. I wouldn't have had all these adventures and unforgettable memories without them. They give me so much to remember, so much to remind me that I am loved and accepted. I can still remember all the things I went through with them vividly and that is magical. I know it isn't the end of the world yet but it's never the wrong time to thank the people you love for being there for you, playing a big part in your life. They constantly remind me that I'm a big part of theirs.

Next year is going to be a better one I hope, filled with more exciting adventures. Last year I said I wanted to be a better person, and in a way I am.. I learned to accept things better, I learned that everyone should be afraid of taking risks, it's if you're willing to or not and I'm glad I took a lot of risks this year because if I didn't, things would've been different. And I wouldn't change anything because everything happened for a reason.

I am still learning to move forward, to forget and in time I will. The downside of the year would be falling in love with someone and the relationship didn't quite work out when I was so sure it would've. It was short but it was also the longest I've ever been in a relationship with a guy and to be fair, I don't regret it for a second. It hurts yes but it was a good ride even if it was for a while. I wish him well in the future though, I wish him all the happiness in the world.

The highlight of 2013 for me would be those sleepless nights spent with my college mates; a mini vacation with my cousin and Rizam; went out on a proper date with the same person countless of times; went back to London; met a few of my friends that I haven't seen in 7 years; constant arguing with the best friend; getting a haircut and basically just everything.

I'm excited for 2014, I want to improve myself and make the most out of every situation. Have a blessed year ahead everyone and before we know it, we'll reach the end of the year again.

Happy New Year.
Love,
Haziqah.
