Last Year (2016)

Yay it's time for an obligatory "It's the new year so I have to post something up about last year" blog post! All jokes aside, this year is beginning to look like a great year for me to pick up my slack and start pushing myself to get closer to my goal of becoming a writer, who knows, maybe I can start a book that I can be proud of for a change. Anyways, it's about time I's start talking about last year otherwise it won't be much of the requirement.

 Last year was an amazing year for me, and I'm not saying that just because of obligations or tradition or some other stupid nonsense like that, but because last year was truly an amazing year for me. The year started just like any other, I go to school; I come home; I play my games; then I go to sleep. This cycle repeated sadistically until I got fed up of it in March and given the amazing chance in my Sunday School class, I leaped at the opportunity and soon, without me knowing it, my life began to snowball further and further, till I lost control of it, and it was the greatest experience I ever had.

 The people I met were so weird and quirky, and things were really messy at first while we tried to get the things going, but not a second too late did we suddenly gel together and meld into a strong foundation, on which we built ourselves onto, and did it fill us with joy, even during the struggles and the tough times we had faced, we were still met with the most satisfying happiness at the end of the day, and even more at the end of our mission, or as some of us would call it, the beginning of our journey. Still, we had our chance, so it's time for us to pass the baton along and give it to the next generation of "us".

 School-wise, I think last year I was okay, aside the fact that I didn't do my work (sorry my teachers D:) and I pretty much failed as a treasurer. I felt okay about my results and despite my parents complaining and nagging I survived it. So, I think I'm finally ready to start picking up the slack this year and push myself to be better and generally do more things rather than just, "Hey do this at ... pm," and "Come with me and let's do ...," or just sit around and play games or occasionally write about my miserable lifestyle. Now, I'm willing to finally take the chances that have been presented to me all the while.

 Last year wasn't just all smiles and laughter, but in this new year, I genuinely want to be more optimistic and look to the positives in my life, and not dwell on my pain or whatever, because I have finally taken the chance that I've been given, and nobody can ever that chance away from me.
