As you all know, the year 2015 is coming to an end. It was eventful. It was a real ride for me.
A year I've learned a lot about hardwork and myself. A year I learned to accept and forgive.
I'll try my best to write as much as I can with just the top of my head.
Here are the things that I learned in 2015:
1. I need to work harder than that. I need to gain more critical thinking skills.
2. There is something in me waiting to be unleashed. I keep losing my opportunities. Your choices lead to consequences.
3. Cherish your loved ones. You hear them. You probably may get annoyed but someday, they won't be there...forever.
4. Don't compare yourself to others. You are unique. Be proud of yourself.
5. You can't do everything.
6. Be extra careful on people.
7. Be more dependent on yourself. You only have you.
8. Stop stressing out. You're doing fine.
9. People are there for you.
10. But sometimes people can't be there for you.
11. Depend on your own motivation. Not others.
12. Someone once told me what I am doing might be right but not everyone will like it. It just shows how toughhh it is to actually please people.
13. Trust your instincts.
14. No regrets!
15. Be extra humble under any circumstances. Be down to earth.
16. Stop being confused. If things happened, you must be grateful. Allah's plan is bigger than yours. Just wait. InsyaAllah, He'll give you better.
17. Relax and just do your thang.
18. It's okay to be sad. You can cry all you want but as long you rise again. Just don't step backwards.
19. Don't give up on something you truly love.
20. Never force anything or anyone.
21. My health needs more love such as for diet: I no longer see food as pleasure but more to fuel for my dear body.
22. Be extraaaa careful with what I say.
23. Respect people more.
24. Honesty is the best policy.
25. Sleep early.
26. Don't worry. Just keep moving forward.
27. Laugh more.
28. Learn to reason things out more. Be matured in every tough situation.
29. Smile more.
30. Wake up extra earlier.
31. Your friends are there to listen.
32. Put my phone down more.
33. Never take anyone or anything for granted.
34. Be nice to everyone. Nobody wants to be bad. We don't know what they have to deal with their respective lives.
35. Don't be too serious, man!
36. I need to read more books!
37. Listen more.
38. Find fun in studying.
39. My parents are super supportive and understanding.
40. Find a balance in everything. It's tough but one at a time.
41. Music makes me productive.
42. I am a strong and independent individual! Still learning though!! haha
43. I am a fighter.
44. Dear self, let go, move on.
45. What is fated is fated so there is no need to complain.
46. Never blame yourself for everything.
47. Learn to communicate better.
48. If you have someone who supports and never gives up, do take care of them. It's honestly really hard to find.
49. Never ever ever ever stop finding solutions.
50. Don't be lazy. Be someone!
51. Be extra adventurous and don't stop trying new things.
52. Always have a plan.
53. Surround yourself more with people.
54. Learn about the greatness of being alone. You'll learn a lot of yourself while you're at it.
55. Love yourself.
56. Take care of myself more. You're still a soul with a beating heart. Live with every rhythm.
57. Be a lady. A respected lady.
58. Know your limits.
59. Make use of my lame humour to make and keep me happy lol. It's a really odd and weird trait that I'm proud of hahah.
60. It's hard to be good enough. It's so tough :(
61. Someone will wake up and decide that they're done.
62. Stress is a result of your reaction. Keep calm.
63. Find a great stress release. Make use of what you can do, girl.
64. You can't do this alone.
65. You have to do it alone.
65. Be happy! It could have been worse! :)
66. And I can't emphasise these more but: Be yourself. Be good. Be confident. Be respectful.
etcetera...
It's crazy how one year can totally change your perspective.
You learn and you grow.
It can be overwhelming how things went by too fast but I'm glad I can call myself a survivor.
Alhamdulillah for everything I've lost and gain for it is for my best and the opportunity I hopefully will get in the future. InsyaAllah.
Though, I may lost a lot this year. I am glad for whoever stayed and was still there.
I will start by deeply apologising to everyone if I went too far and I was less sensitive on you.
I respect you.
For I am only a growing human, I will strive for the better and keep pushing myself for it.
To my parents,
Thank you for making me stronger. Teaching me ways to think more maturely. I don't know how I'd be without you both. With your strict guidance, I realise that it is for the better and thank you for teaching me how to be more professional in life. Thank you for correcting me when I'm wrong because well sometimes I just need that slap in the face with a good life lesson. Thank you for making all the effort to make me happy. Thank you for feeding me with food and love. Thank you Mama. Thank you Abah. I love you so much. I'd make a book if I go on. There'd tooo many to write.
To my friends,
You all have been such great motivators. Thank you for those who were there when I was sad and to be there for me just to make me laugh. Thank you for making me feel calmed and making university less difficult. Thank you for making me believe in myself. Thank you for letting me know my dreams are possible. I could never survive university without you all. I am so glad for the teamwork and I've never been so happy to wake up and see you all and study with you folks every day. You all are fun. Thank you for listening to my stories. Thank you for taking the time to write to me with all the heart and effort. Thank you for listening till midnight strikes. Thank you for laughing at my annoying jokes. Thank you because at least I know I'm not lame and I'm cool.
And to my cool bean,
Thank you. You're one of those people I'd tell my kids who I look up to back when I was younger. Thank you for teaching me what hardwork is all about. Thank you for showing that caring for someone to you is truly a big deal. Thank you for making efforts throughout and always being there at my worst. I wish I could repay sooner. Thank you for the times you'd do anything to see me happy. Thank you for making my grandma happy with the pisang goreng. She'll never forget that. Thank you for being lame because at least for once I felt cool. Haha. But really though, thank you for spending time as much as you could. I wish I can turn back time and do it all again but better. Thank you for giving all your heart. Thank you thank you thank you for everything.
To myself,
Thank you for surviving. You're doing great. Just take care of yourself more, aite?
You're awesome.
Thank you for reading my post.
Happy almost new year!
