It is the last day of 2012 and time to remember.
By far 2012 has been the most difficult year of my life. This is no random thought- just bare facts. Yet by far it has been the most educational. If I say it has taught me patience and perseverence I will just be inviting cliches. but there is no escaping the fact that it has done exactly that. But the one thing it has taught me amply is to respect each and every human being who I have allowed to be in my life. Somewhere that just amplifies my self respect.
People are a crazy bunch. Tall, short, skin n bones or plump, each of them have their own speciality and they revel in it, and each of them have something to give to us all. It is a humbling experience to be a part of this eccentric mixture of souls and be accepted for who I am.
Despite the fact that 2012 wreaked physical and emotional havoc on me and the bad news did not have an end, it taught me to accept my flaws, admit to my faults, bear the punishment and move forward. Maybe the year will always be remembered as one carrying tons of misery, yet it did truly teach me to break barriers, move ahead and always... always learn something new. It made me strive to be a better person.
I may not have reached enlightenment but yes I think I grew up. I learned to take responsibilities and believe that in every bad time- this too shall pass. Looking back I realised what I learnt is simply invaluable. It may have been accompanied with loads of pain but then, would I have ever truly understood it if it was not? I can safely say no.. I may come across as an eternal optimist but how else will you lay your past to rest and try to make a better future? I am glad I am an optimist. I am glad for who I am.
