Two Thousand And Seventeen

I’ve been planning to write today’s blog since a month only to start writing it around 2:53 PM this afternoon.

(such procrastination or damn unfortunate circumstances occurring consistently all throughout the last month)

I was really gutted for 2016 to end because I was having a great year and I thought for some reason that the new year won’t be as good as the one gone by. I wanted the spirit of 2016 to just continue all throughout 2017 and make it even more amazing than 2016 already was.

Did that happen?

To some extent, yes. It was a great beginning to the year with me clearing the first half of my last year in college and my favorite sports person/captain stepping down from the captaincy on the same day. (Well, I don’t think the second half of the statement was good in any way; just like the second half of the year)

If you are a graduate or you are in the last year of your school/college then you are definitely trying to make the most of the time left.

(If you’re not doing that, then START DOING IT NOW. Those days are never ever going to come back and you’re going to miss them to bits and pieces.)

The first quarter of the year was the best-est part of the year. Despite few challenges and doubts of what the future will hold for me, I enjoyed every single moment of it and if I got a chance to relive it again, I will go for it without any second thought.

The second quarter of the year started off with a new experience and new people. It was something I was not hoping for or looking forward to do anytime soon but I guess things just fell in place.

August brought a different set of challenges and to be honest, I became more responsible than I already was in many ways. August also brought fear of losing someone very dear and in spite of having hope and strength to over come it, I succeeded in being strong mentally and emotionally.

In September it felt like August was just the silence before the storm and now was the time to really face the fears and show the strength in true sense.

It was a very tough month for me and I won’t say I was coping up with all that was happening because I wasn’t.

The next set of months were more or less the same as September.

Unlike last year, I am really looking forward for the year to end as I’d hoped for a quite and relaxing winter break which again wasn’t possible because of certain circumstances.

I didn’t travel to any place new, I didn’t read even half the number of books I’d read last year, I didn’t write good poems. I didn’t click my own pictures (self consciousness/depreciation), didn’t meet people because I just couldn’t drag myself out of the home. I broke my own rule of never text a boy first.

Nontheless I realized that few things will remain temporary even if you try extremely hard to make them permanent. There will always be people who might not be happy to see you doing well but there will always be those few set of people who’ll be happy for you wholeheartedly. They’ll shine like the brightest stars in your dark days and darker nights. Who’ll listen to your stories of heart break and yet encourage you take a chance in love again.

In 2018, (which I’m a little bit anxious to start with) I would want to do everything I couldn’t do this year. I would want to achieve everything I couldn’t achieve this year. I would want to travel to places I have only dreamed of and I would want to live and not just survive through 2018.

A big thank you to all the people who were there when I wanted them the most and for sticking around to listen to my stupid (yet logical) rants about different/same things (and people), for making me laugh, smile, blush and have a crush on (which won’t go anytime soon, damn) and to let me be just me.

Hope you had a fantastic 2017 and I hope you have the best time of your life in 2018.

Have a great year, everyone! ❤

Much love.
