Another end is near, but I'm sure so is another beginning.

I'VE GRADUATED!

The three-year relationship I've previously had with this particularly taxing communication degree is finally over. One of the best and most relieving breakups, for sure. Even beats the break up I had with the psycho boyfriend I used to date a couple of years ago so hey, three cheers for that! 2013 has been an absolutely fab year. This year lifted me up to the highest of mountains and also drowned me in the deepest of seas. I've never had such vast variations of emotions in quite a long while. It was an exhausting journey but all the lessons I've gained from this year, I plan to carry close to my heart to get me through my future endeavours. It's always great to be capable of learning new things every second of the day, and I think that's one of the most valuable lessons I've learned this year.

Most recent update would be that I've already completed a TEFL course in the last couple of weeks. Proud to note that I finished it in merely 10 days, which is a great accomplishment considering that 90 days is given to do that. But, not so amazing since I've been a bum and I don't have to juggle work or studies along with the course. If you don't already know, the course provides you with the fundamentals of teaching English as a foreign language. I've been making concrete plans to get myself to Hong Kong to start a career in teaching English, which may or may not be ideal for my personality. But against the odds, or not, I'm giving this shot my all.

I've just been reflecting on the things I have in life. I have been really trying to focus on living in the moment and I think, excluding the occasional and unnecessary worrisome phases, I've done a pretty good job keeping my cool. I really don't want to die one day knowing I've wasted most of my life stressing about the future when I really could have spent my time feeling positive feelings. One of the best things in my life? The most intelligent, hardworking, charming, compromising and patient man you would ever meet.

My boyfriend has provided amazing help with feeling superior the past two months so this goes out to him.

"I don't think I can exactly put into words the gratitude I feel for having you around me. The importance of your existence in my life has grown so much in such a short period of time that the fear of losing you has been permanently instilled deep within me. You have taught me how to be someone I've never thought I could become. Even without trying, you have successfully given me direction in life and the strength and courage to pursue that path. I wish that our bond continues to strengthen despite the distance that will stand between us in the near future. If ever the obstacles we have to overcome starts to take a toll on us, I hope the love we share finds a way for us through it. I love you, now, forever, and way beyond the time we have in this life. Thank you bb chu."

So yes, here I am, just doing a little writing thinking that it might help improve my relationship with this incredibly confusing but beautiful language. Here's a little blessing I'd like to offer to my blood ties, the relationship with my boyfriend and the relationship I'm about to start with the English language.

Merry Christmas in advance buddies,
&may the kickstart to 2014 be ever in our favour.

 Yours truly,

xx.
