Every year my group of close friends celebrate different festive seasons at either one of our houses and of course for Christmas it’s always over at my place. Well things were supposed to turn out a little different this year but good old Street 51 was once again the location for our annual gathering.
I don’t usually write emo stuff but after everything that has happened this year, it would be a lie for me to say I wasn’t being emo. Moving back home in time for the gathering was a tough one but I would have fallen if I didn’t have help. I consider 2009 very unlucky but perhaps it’s been luckier than I think.
Ming described the year of ups and downs for me as a roller coaster ride, I vomited alot of times throughout the ride but at least I managed to complete it.
I suppose that’s a pretty constructive way to look at it. It’s been a year with so many wonderful moments and yet a year where these moments get shattered without any warning or notice. It’s a year with much that is hard to take and a year with a lot of loses.
Just browsing through my facebook home page I can see so many people saying how 2009 has been cruel and they hope that 2010 will be kinder. I agree………..this year I’ve seen my health decline quite abit, something I don’t really talk about because it’s been hard to take but I had hoped that I would pull through.
Even the emotional side of me finds itself cheated and robbed, my fire and passion left confused and my spirit just dragging itself along.
I am grateful for this year. It’s harshness has helped me to grow, if there was a time I ever said that I was a man….I take it back. It’s only after going through 2009 that I became a man. Like my dad said, 2009 is a good year because all the bad things have come to an end………….it may have hurt but at least it hurt before the year ended.
Every year at the annual Christmas party, we sit and sort of reflect on the year gone by. Each year we find that the group gets smaller. We lose friends only to gain new ones………it’s kind of like keeping the group population balenced.
We lost one this year………I lost one this year…….
But I’m happy to see 3 of my friends preparing for marriage and the next challenge of their lives. So who did we gain to replace the loss………Vanessa. Unfortunately Tissa and Vanessa came late so they couldn’t be part of our group pic.
I would have never made it through the year without the support of my family and you guys. I love you all………..I knew what love is before but now I know it even more.
