2015

It's pretty much a year a post kinda blog now.

This blog has been with me for so many years and is one of the very rare public avenue of my rants, prior to the days of Facebook and Instagram. I'll look back, read back, all the posts I've made over the years.

2015 has arrived, and it's hard to forget that 10 years ago would be 2005 and not 1995. Turning 27 this year feels unreal, and I can't help but wonder where has the time gone. Many, if not most, are engaged, married, or have kids now, leaving me pretty much in the dust behind still trying to figure out my life.

Many times in life, things don't work out how you have had it planned. Many times, it just slaps the nicely planned map out of your hands and stomps on them. It's exhausting, it's defeating, and it's just very saddening.

Sometimes you just have to force yourself to accept and move on. To smile and be happy, if not for you, then for someone else. To convince yourself things are for the better this way. Eventually you will believe it yourself.

Here I stand, yet another chapter of my life closed behind me firmly, with just solitude ahead. Smile. Strong. Survive.
