I've made plenty of new friends, lost a couple too, had lots of firsts, and hopefully a few lasts, kissed too many boys, drank too much alcohol, had dozens of other amazing experiences and still managed to hold onto a high credit average.
My initial idea for this post was that it would be about the 'end': the end of a year, the end of a saga, the end of a journey.
But then when I think about it, this is so far from the end.
If this year has taught me anything, it's that things never stay the same, never stay how you expect them to, for very long at all.
And while midnight tonight might strike the end of the year, it's merely the close of a chapter, in a book that is simply a volume in a massive series depicting this crazy, beautiful life.
In the wise words of Flavia: "There are no endings, only new beginnings."
In a way, I don't feel as sentimental about New Year's Eve this year.
This year has showed me to don't need a countdown or a dropping ball to make a change or keep a resolution.
If you want to make a change, then do it.
In a sense every day is like New Year's Eve with that kind of philosophy (and hey, I'm drinking enough of the time to make that even more plausible).
And everyday is a new journey.
This will be my last post in over a month.
In a few days I will be setting out on a journey, and not the metaphorical sense.
5 weeks in the Costa Rican jungle is sure to be a grounding experience in reality, it will probably have it's own book in the saga.
So happy New Year Sydney, and don't change too much while I'm gone; I don't want to miss out on the excitement.
