It's a brand new day on a completely brand new year. Of course, every 1 January, we all walk down that memory lane and recall how the past 365 days had been. Personally, 2011 was another year full of insurmountable joy, buckets of tears, one too many heartbreaks et cetera. Like any other year, I welcomed people and/or crossed paths with a few individuals, only to let them go. Naturally, by the end of the year, I've found a few treasured ones I hold close to my heart right now. 2011 definitely taught me one valuable lesson: stop trying to control everything and accept that some things are beyond control. Some things happen due to the laws of nature, of inexplicable fortuity. 

It goes without saying that one whole year changes every single person in so many different ways. I, for one, came to accept how I'm not the same person I was in 2010. I wouldn't know if I am a better person now but I'm closer to knowing that I am moving forward. I am moving on with time to create the best version of myself. Not perfect, mind you, only to be the best. 2011 opened up my heart to look past the countless sins and mistakes I have made, to accept that I too am as flawed as others, and most importantly to realize the path I was made to walk on. And now it's time I get back on that path I was made to walk on. Well, isn't it what all this chase is all about? To be the best person you can be. You may beg to differ, sure, but I believe I can be so much more than this. Than now. And that sums up what a new year is all about to me - getting more than second chances.

Me? I'm getting my 21st chance with the arrival of 2012.

It's going to be another amazingly heartwrenching year ahead with plenty more memories to be made and cherished till time is up. 

Happy New Year to all xox
