18 years

without comments

in less than 5 hours, I’m bidding my 18th year goodbye. This year has been far more interesting than any other year.. I’ve lost some, I gained some. I learned how to let go of people and things that I’ve never thought I’ll be able to let go of. 18 years, and I can say that somehow..I’ve already done things that could make me happy. but there are still a lot of things that I want to do. There are still a lot of places to go to..people to meet.. food to eat.. and things to see. In the past 18 years, I have learned a lot. I have learned that you can make a lot of friends, but there are only few whom you can say have made you theirs. I’ve learned that most of the lessons in life are not learned in classrooms but are taught by life itself. I’ve learned that you should always trust your instincts.. after all, life is about survival, isn’t it? I’ve learned that men.. are just men. You can never tell when you could trust them. I’ve learned that a person can live without sleep and that a person can not live with sleep alone. You have to go out, work, play and EAT. I’ve learned that other people’s problems are easier to solve than your own. So listen to others, cry with them, be mad with them, and at the end of the day no matte how heavy you’re burdens are… you’ll feel just fine.I’ve learned that never ever expect anything from someone you barely know. I’ve learned that you should never give up when things are falling apart.. in fact, it’s an opportunity for you to prove that you can do something significant and that you can stand up for what you really believe in. I’ve learned that you can never be too tired.. and that when you know that you are just as tired as the others..it will all feel better. I’ve learned that you can’t always have what you want.. so never ever ask for a wish that is next to impossible. People come and go, but your family will never leave you. No matter how messed up you think your family is… they’ll always be there. Run with them. =) I’ve also learned how to flip pancakes and how to cook a new dish.. :)

I have learned that at 18, you should be happy, and live your life to the fullest.

Life is short..make the most out of it. Don’t grieve over the things you can’t have and things you dont understand. Let go of the things that hurt you.. and never hurt the people you can not let go of. Smile more often, and never ever ever stop loving your life. :)

Happy Birthday! :)
Another chance.. Another year.
