the year the world didn't end.

2012 threw up a couple of unexpected things for me. I started off the year determined to stay single as long as I could. That lasted a grand total of 25 days before I met a boy who threw me off track. Despite trying to avoid it, and not feeling ready to leave single life behind, I'm so grateful I fell into that relationship because it lead me to meet some truly great people and experience some truly fun moments. With a relationship running it's course in the middle, I managed to start the year single and end it that way too. And I've been having a ball these last few weeks with all my single ladies.

This year, as a whole, has been nothing but fun. Even a new full time job, stealing my free week days away, wasn’t going to get in the way of that. If anything, it made me appreciate weekends so much more, opened me up to a whole variety of amazing people I otherwise wouldn’t know and kept me very, very busy trying to fit everything in. One thing I’ve lacked this year is time. I don’t remember the last time I had two nights in a row free. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I lost a bestfriend for 3 months to Europe, which only solidified how much I love her and how awesome our relationship is (not to brag). I’ve watched friends struggle through a lot of their own issues over the past year – to all of them I just want to say I'm so proud of you for still standing strong and may 2013 bring new and better days. 

Me, on the otherhand? I'm not sure life could get much better at the moment. All I want from 2013 is for it to continue on and live up to how great 2012 was. I'm going into this new year having no idea where my head is at on a lot of things, but I'm having the most fun just not worrying about it at the moment. In a year's time, what I want most is to be able to look back and remember all my favourite moments.

Therefore, my new year's resolution is to steal an idea I saw online earlier today - whenever I have an amazing, funny, memorable moment, I'm going to write it down and store it somewhere safe. That way, at the end of year, I can go back and look through all my moments and truly remember what the year gave me. Oh, and I'd also like to learn the piano, if anyone wants to teach me?
