Last week of 2010. I'm almost ready to let go of this year and to embrace 2011. Every year, I wish for a mind-blowing, adventurous and exhilarating new year. I've never been disappointed. Today, my best friend asked me to list my top three memories of the year. I'd have to say:
1) grad
2) olympics
3) start of university
1) Grad was definitely the most anticipated event of the year. I had the best night of my life.
2) Olympics came and I had never felt more proud to be Canadian.
3) University. Moving out, meeting new people and starting my new life has been so exciting. I can't be happier.
And in between those events, there are, of course, those late night room parties, movie marathons and karaoke nights.
But my favourite memories probably wouldn't cross your mind as significant ones. You know, the moments when you call just to say you miss me, when you hug me and tell me it's okay, when you pick up my 2 am calls and just listen, and when we lie on the bed talking all night, making mutated puppet shadows on the ceiling. Those moments are special and they made 2010 worth remembering.
My tips for 2011? Follow your heart, but don't forget your head. Sometimes, being a little level-headed doesn't hurt.
I know I always say that some things only happen in movies and never in real life. Deep down, I still believe and always will. I've always believed that you might lose if you take the risk, but you'll lose far more if you don't. Believe, but don't be fooled. Believe, but be reasonable. Believe, but never compromise.
Now go out there and rock this world.
And if you ever need a sidekick, I'll be right there, rocking the world with you.
