A Farewell to 2024
9 months ago
As we wait for the turn of the new year. I got to say this year, the year of the Dragon, has had me astonished almost beyond words. The relief iv'e felt, feeling back in control for the first time in a long time and a sense of purpose going forward. I just can't believe how well it's treated me..
You see.. The past 4-5 years I'd been left in a pit of misery and doubt, lost and almost without any hope for the better. After a shitstorm of drama and manipulation among social groups, very nearly ruined me. I'd only just barely managed to salvage some broken friendships and my reputation. But alot of damage had already been done. Even though I got my chance to explain my side of the story, I kinda still felt somewhat those I reconnected with still have second thoughts..
Well that's how i felt before. Then it all really seemed to turn around this year!. I started it with a little bit of determination to make something of it, try a different path this time. Then suddenly luck and success came flying at me at every turn and I almost can't believe it. I reconnected with old friends iv'e not seen in many years, made some new ones throughout the year. Won a tournament with my Football (soccer) team (and got a medal :D). Had a long and enjoyable cruise holiday to the Mediterranean. Watched my youngest sister get happily married to her partner.
I also very quickly improved at guitar playing and that's something I really wished to progress with, since i picked the guitar back up again 2 years ago from New years day. Iv'e attempted to for much longer and gave up multiple times. But I promised myself I'll try one more time, as this is something I dreamed of and something I want to do for the rest of my life now. Got myself a good teacher, some nice gear and practice almost every day. Iv'e made some serious gains this year and I even surprise myself.. I hope to one day produce my own music solo, in a band or both.
It's been quite a year for me and I kinda feel sad to see it pass. The next time the Year of the Dragon comes by, I'll be middle-aged *sigh*
I really hope the fortune and the success iv'e seen continues..
Happy New Year!.
