At this point, many people reflect on the past year. They think about the good times, all the fun they had and how they just can’t wait for another great year. I wish, I was one of them. One year ago, I started my blog and I really thought 2013 would be my year. Let me put it this way. I guess 13 really isn’t my lucky number. I can’t think of a year that sucked more. I lost my job, my beloved cat, I thought I would be studying in the States by now, but I didn’t get the scholarship that I worked so hard for, there were several serious health problems in my family, now I’m forced to work in a job that I hate (I even worked until 2 hours ago), I once again had to learn that some friends aren’t real friends at all and I could go on like this, but I don’t want to bring anyone down. Including myself. Not that I’m happy right now, but I’m trying to make the best of it. I know that there are always worse problems in the world than mine, but for every person, the issues he or she has to deal with, are always the worst. That’s just how we are.

One year ago, I started a jar of memories and it was my first real post for this blog. Well, looking at that jar makes me sad. I hoped it would be full with great things that happened, but those few are not even worth re-reading. I know every single one of them because it’s not hard to remember a handful of nice things. Don’t get me wrong, I know that my life could be much worse and there will always be bad times. I just hope that someday, these bad times aren’t so intense. I hope that one day, luck will find me and something good will happen. Just ONCE! I’m really not asking for much and I work hard for everything I want, but some things just can’t be fully achieved if there is not a little bit of luck.

I have plans for 2014 and I really, really hope that it will all work out. Just in case it doesn’t, I’m already planning some highlights that will make the year a little less awful. I have tickets to see Beyoncé and the Backstreet Boys. Now THOSE are highlights. I can’t wait. :) I’m not gonna make any resolutions because I won’t follow through with them, anyway. If I wanna lose weight, I will. I don’t need a resolution for that. I will work out when I feel like it. I wanted to read at least 50 books per year. Well, obviously I ain’t got time for that. Stop being so messy? Yeah right. Who cares if my room is clean or not?! It’s not like I get that many visitors. And finding a boyfriend? I’m not even looking because I don’t really believe in finding one. And I don’t have time for any of these things anyway. I haven’t seen my friends in what feels like forever. When would I see my boyfriend?! :D

But I will try to be more positive about things. Not always easy but I will never give up. Never did, never will. I’m strong and I’m happy about that. I cry, I freak out but then, I pull myself back together and move on. I’m happy about the person that I am and I guess that’s worth more than anything. As long as that is given, nothing can ever really bring me down.

I will always get back up.
I will always try again.
I will always stay strong.
I will always be myself.
I will always be proud.

Anyway, writing helps me a lot. It always did. And I love blogging. I’m really glad that I finally started it, one year ago. Can’t believe it’s over already. But believe me, I am sooo glad it is. Thanks to everyone reading this. Thank you for putting up with me. Thank you for you follows, likes and comments.

And last but not least, I would like to thank my friends and my family. I am glad to have you in my life. Thank you for not being mad because I have no time to meet up. Thank you for not getting mad because I’m being a cranky bitch. And lately, that should be my WhatsApp/Facebook/Twitter status 24/7.

I WISH YOU ALL A GREAT AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

And don’t forget, every year means 365 tries to make it right! ♥
