The day began like any other normal day. But how can there be anything normal about 31st December! This represents a day when people retrospect every breath they have taken in the past year. Suddenly one feels - its already that time of the year??? Their heart begins to swell with the burdens of unaccomplished dreams while their mind fills itself with resolutions for the new year. "You will lose weight", it says while the swollen heart hides a smirk!
A lot of thoughts floated in my head. A major part of me wanted this year to end. No one has any control over the past. What's done is done. You can look back at life with grief or fond memories. End of the day, its not gonna matter! I guess that's the main reason I look forward to the new year. I still have the power to make it matter. One more year to live my life, one more year to fly high, one more year till its the next year!
Walking on the Elliot trail in Seattle, I thought back about how 2013 unfolded itself to me. All the while, I wanted it to end. I wanted a new start. I wanted a blank slate. Suddenly a lot of memories filled me. I wasn't thinking about my bad knee, sore throat or the numerous health problems that raised their dirty heads in my life in the past year.
As I walked the port of Seattle, I knew my life had shaped exactly how I dreamed it would. New cities, new people, new cultures, new experiences - NEW EVERYTHING! From Texas Rodeo to White House, high energy of Gatlinburg to serenity of Seattle, simplicity of the Amish to craziness of SFO, hurricane at Niagara to the filling yet emptiness of the Pacific Ocean, drop dead beauty of Big Sur , hip hop hikes of Indiana, street dancing at Greek festival - phew. And I am just getting started!
It's been over a year since I moved out to explore the world on my own. I feel successful. I feel liberated. A big chunk of the credit goes to the wonderful people I am lucky to have in my life. One crack pot just entered my room wanting to read my thoughts this late in the night. Weird, you say? Blessed, I say! Memories and experiences are the most precious gifts one would ever have. People form a very important part of both. Fill your life with people you love, life would love you back ten fold. You can never have enough of goodness in your life! I reiterate this at every given opportunity, I love you guys!
As I look 2014 in the eye, I know it's gonna be one hell of a ride. A lot of uncertainties, a lot of opportunities and a lot of travel! My throbbing feet feel like they have walked a hundred miles today. But I know they are eager to run towards 2014, a year where personal accomplishments out shine the rest, a year which would mark a new life ahead, a year which would raise the bar for years to come, a year where my new dreams begin. Welcome 2014.
