My 2008

I havent blogged for ages and I realized I have missed it...well my last blog was in 2007 so I'll summarize my 2008 in a poem I wrote last year...

My 2008
In 2008, I have learned that not only does the past drag you down,
It also carries you forth once you realize that it is only that...the past.
In 2008, I have learned that I might be a masochist,
Taking a lot of nonsense in the hope of a non-existent love!
In 2008, I have learned of my naivety,
... Of my silliness,
But most of all,
In 2008, I have learned that I can love again.
My 2008 has not been easy,
I have struggled academically,
pushing my frontiers and my view points.
My 2008 has taught me of the power of knowledge,
...of forgiveness,
...of love!
My 2008 has taught me that it has to start from ME.
It has been filled with joys and sorrows,
Laughter and tears,
It has been filled with LIFE.
Well, 2008 is not over,
I have a huge smile on my face as I write this.
Amidst all my lessons and my trials,
In 2008, I have re-discovered myself.
