2018: A New Hope

Last day of the year. Well these transitions tend to nudge people to make some resolutions, or re-look on past achievements, or just do SOMETHING significant (or try to plan something for next year).

For me this year's transition to 2018 is very low key. There will be a small do/ get-together later & a birthday celebration.

I have decided to cease the romantic relationship with S and leave it open so that both parties may pursue whatever it is that each wants to pursue. We never have actually stopped each other anyways. This is more about (me) taking charge & letting go of uncertainty. We will remain friends & do some activities together. There are still some common threads that will weave us together time & again, so we'll both be alright I guess. I feel empowered and sad at the same time- it is a difficult emotion to explain. It is what it is & we both have decided that we will survive regardless.

My goal for 2017 was patience. Overall it has been achieved (well I am more patient than I was before, but not quite zen yet about it).. together with the goal of getting in tune with my instincts (which is still being honed, especially in stressful situations that tend to jangle my nerves).

For 2018, the plan is to empower myself.. and write more. That's it really.

Will welcome the new year with hope, and complete faith that God loves me very much.. and that the lessons I have learnt will serve me well on my way.
