A very long, wordy, post ahead...Almost 3 weeks of holidays have gone by so fast that I an see the big S-c-h-o-o-l and the even bigger A-S-S-i-g-n-m-e-n-t-s looming closer and closer each passing day. Notice how the first three letters of assignments have been capitalized? That's how I see assignments. A complete pain in the ass.
School's starting and the year is ending. End of 2008 and the start of 2009. Something which I am not looking forward to at all, I might add once again. At least I'd like to think that I have done some good, happy and enjoyable things this year and not just gone through all the crappy, shitty and anymore vulgarified adjectives I can think of to describe my life in 2008. One thing's for sure, this year has gone by so fast. I mean I can still remember clearly the New Years party I had attended on Dec 31st, 2007.
2008 and generally started off quite well, with lots of complications and difficulties and tears as the year went on. Sometimes I think it solely depends on us, how we want each year to turn out. 2008 was not one of my best years, but it has taught me a lot of things and made me experience things I never did before.
2008 has given me a couple of new things in my life. A new family, new friends and some new experiences as well, as mentioned above. For which I am grateful for, most of it anyway. To be honest, I hate New Years. I hate anything that is new and that is changed. I hate the beginnings of a new week also because I hate Mondays. But I guess changes happen in our lives for the best. Well, some for the best, and others just to teach us something new, even if they don't benefit us in anyway.
I will not bother to post a list of resolutions for the following reasons:
1. I already hate New Years.
2. I cannot be bothered with resolutions.
3. Which is why I have not even thought of any resolutions.
4. What's the point? I never fulfill them anyway.
Thank you, Allah, for this year. For all the good things that you have brought my way, for all the small, happy moments that you gave me amidst the very big amount of sad and angering moments. I know that You make things happen in my life for a reason. At least, I'd like to give myself some satisfaction by thinking that all these things are happening for a reason. All the things that I wanted but did not get, I'd like to believe it was because You had much, much better things in store for me. And despite drowning in all the hurt, disappointment and tears, I could still see a somewhat dim, flickering but still it was there, a light, which tells me that You're with me and You did help me! I know I don't thank You very often, I take You for granted at times and sometimes I even blame You for when things go wrong, but I do appreciate all that You do for me :) And not forgetting, the awesome close friends and family you gave me. They've been the best bunch of people who have helped me, guided me and were there for me when I needed them. I thank you once again, Allah, for this life, (even though I may complain non-stop about it) where I do consider myself to be most fortunate.
It's not everyday I'm this grateful, so this post could be something different for you everyday readers. I thought it would be good to have a thanking prayer. I don't do thanking a lot so this is something different. I am so very grateful for all the good things in my life because I know I don't have very much of it.
So a very, very Happy New Year, everyone! Try to start off the new year on the right foot, just for good luck's sake, and to ensure you don't have a crappy Two-Oh-Oh-Nine :D
