As I sit here reflecting on 2013, there are many memories, and whirlwind adventures that bring a smile to my face. I experienced a lot last year… There were some lows, but more highs!

I am grateful for all the people that came into my life, and for all the lessons that I learnt. I will cherish the wonderful moments that I got to spend with my family last year, especially with my grandmother!

After graduation, like many new grads, I was faced with the “what now” dilemma, and rejection was a big fear that I had to face last year.

In 2013, one person in particular made me realize that dreams are worth pursuing, and giving it your everything! It saddens me to realize that somewhere along the line I stopped yearning to follow my dream. However 2014 is a clean slate… And I feel highly motivated to continue my journey that I embarked upon yesteryear.

Although I am excited to embark upon this ride, and embrace the uncertainty in 2014, this year will also bring moments that I know are going to be so tough to face. When I was 15 years old, I discovered a quote, and it has stayed with me ever since…

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same. – Flavia Weedn 

I will always remember the wonderful moments of 2013.

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead filled with many more incredible memories!
