Theme Song for 2015: Hope you dance by Lee Ann Womack
Everyone's writing an end of the year post. I want to write something too, but I don't know about what..How can a post compass a whole year of moments, good and bad?
New year right? WOW! It came on so fast, just like every year. Every time the year starts it's like a time bomb is ticking away and I feel exhilarated and forlorn at the same time.
(All the pictures are by my wonderful sister. There sis, Happy?! :D)
Well, life's not all that easy. You have good experiences, you have bad ones.

| I Hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. |
I remember whenever I had a rough time, I would go stand here and I would instantly feel at peace. Looking at that waves, I would promise to myself "With the world being so vast, I will never in a million let a small thing like High school status quo or others opinion stop me from being me and doing what I love" and I never did.
Sometimes it can even get so bad that you forget to be alive. But, you gotta take a deep breath and believe that everything's gonna be okay Or else what are you gonna do? Live a shitty, depressed life? Nope.
Whenever the going gets tough,
The little things you enjoy can give you the greatest happiness.

2014 wasn't a great year for me. In fact, I had a really tough time for 2 years and it wasn't easy at all. But, small happy moments made me kept going and not giving in to depression & failure.
Like the time my mom bought me a pair of earrings shaped like slippers unknowingly, because she mistook them for arrows and I still wore them happily (It was our inside joke :D) Or the time I got the first ever comment on one of my blog posts! Or the time I read the entire City of Bones book by listening to Nick Jonas's Introducing Me on repeat!
When you really think about it, that's all you live for. A few minutes of true joy that you get not from money or popularity, but little, simple things like a cup of hot coffee on a chilly morning, silly chatting with your best friend, a hug from mom, playing with your pet, devouring a Bournville (Yummy!)..Those are the things that make life worth living, worth enjoying. They remind you that there's still hope :)
So, I have only one resolution to make that I want to keep for the rest of my life and I'm pretty sure I will keep it even though I'm bad at keeping resolutions (Which is proven with my track record of being a chronic procrastinator and a lazy ass in general).
My New Year Resolution : Enjoy The Little Things In Life

Until the next post,
OMG it came so fast... I still remember starting my blog in 2014. Me. Sitting down in front of a computer screen starting with my old blog design. I didn't think much about enjoying the little things in life and that, in fact, is a great goal to set for the new year. I hope you had a happy holidays and enjoy the new year!

This was a wonderful post, and I couldn't agree with you more. It's the small moments; making your friend laugh until she snorts, a smile from a cute boy, a hug from your mom. Beautiful lady, thank you for the reminder this new year. (:
