Dear Charlie,

In retrospect, those last two years were highly beneficial. Overall. For me. For my life. Everything. It’s what I needed the most during this specific period of my life. I was lonely at some moments. I chose it, I needed it and I don’t regret any of it. In some ways, it brought a lot of light and sunshine. Probably a little rain too. But y'know it was the good kind of rain. It brought me to h-e-r-e. and h-e-r-e is wonderful. I didn't realize how important it was to value only the friendships that matter until last year. I didn't realize that parents working hard solely for their children is a fact completely underrated. I didn't realize it was possible to fall for someone in such a blissfully manner. I didn't realize that in terms of friendships, closeness ≠ distance.

     Thank you for inspiring me Stephen Chbosky.  

  

11 things...

1. Most of the people who have the biggest hearts, are never the type of people you expect. 

2. The appearance rarely matches the personality. 

3. Easier said than done:- theory & practice don't always match the other one.

4. Learn to let go all the shitty ppl & negativity.

5. This year could be one of the most epic years of your life, the next year could be one of the worst, and the year after that, you could be loving life all over again.

6. Spontaneity is underrated.  

7. Life is truly beautiful, only if you learn to look beyond its daily shits. 

8. Falling in love with someone & finding out this person loves you back is a rare gift.

9. Every relationship has to be two-way, whether it being love or friendship. 

10. Whoever said "Ignorance is bliss" is a noob. Overthinking, reviewing things in your head, is not a freaking joy. Wondering is worse than knowing.      

11. Whenever you feel like shit and there's a lot of negativity weighing on you, just take a nap. 

Thank you 2012.

You were an amazing, challenging & definitely an unforgettable year.
