Recollection.
It's so surreal; the passing of another year and the welcoming of a new one.
They say time flies when you're having fun, but I think time catches up on us when we're busy rushing for every task and routine there is.
Have I accomplished anything this year? Did I manage to lose any weight? Am I still the person I was a year before? Have I changed for the better? Did I hurt anyone? What lessons have I learnt? What is it that I'm still lacking? Am I happier now than I was before? Will I be swamped with regrets when 2010 finally makes way for 2011?
Every year, I ask myself. And every year, I only get half the answers I'm looking for. Half is never always good, but half is sufficient for us to at least understand. Very much like how a human can only be half perfect; no matter how hard we try.
Resolutions are good. They serve as guidelines for when we stray during the course of fulfilling our day-to-day obligations. However, I also believe that resolutions are not always necessary because many a time their importance get diminished as we face newer and bigger complications along the way. Resolutions have never really worked for me, hence I settled on having none each year. I expect nothing, but I work for everything when I come round to it.
So, how was my 2010?
A mixture of everything you can ever think of.
How will my 2011 be?
Exactly how 2010 turned out to be, with the perennial hope of becoming a better person.
