Alvida, 2019!
My dear 2019,
You are going to be missed!
I remember when we met, I had some crazy hope that my prayers of 2016, 17 and 18 will be answered gradually through you. However I also had crazy fear of “what if nothing happens… “
It was time to MAKE something happen. So I took the risk of “career-shift” which I technically should have taken half a decade ago! I went all out and applied for jobs outside the academic sphere!
Thanks 2019. That was one of the biggest lessons you’ve taught me; to take drastic risks despite the fear that comes with it that fills one's entire core and makes one not want to get out of bed.
You led me to a whole new world. (Pun intended. The live version of Disney's Aladdin was brought by you!yay! )
Thank you for the new job. I have been able to pay my debts, bills, and also enjoy some things and time for myself thanks to it. Thanks for that gift, 2019.
I also want to thank you for giving me Kuweni. That has been and is one of the most life-changing experiences for me. I’ve got to know the team better, I’ve started so many new and beautiful friendships, and I have stronger love for my oldest friend.
I have a few hours with you left. Brand new decade after that. I don’t want to waste a single minute not pursuing my dreams in the new decade. This past decade made me realize who I am and my true purpose in life. I WILL PURSUE that.
Thank you for being a launching pad for my 2020.
Sweet 2019. Life with you has been such an adventure. My heart has been elated, depressed, suffocated and yet elevated in sheer joy, pain, frustration, but more importantly, I’ve lost a LOT of fear. Thanks for that. You have been good to me. I found myself more while with you. I can’t wait to meet 2020, but I also want to savor every moment with you for I know how much I will miss you when you leave tonight. My gut already is wrenched with bitter-sweet swirls of emotion just thinking of it.
Thank you. I will cherish you. I will always think of you as the year when I broke free. How strange... when that’s the tagline of my first single- which you launched for me, and generously let 2020 have the glory of its release by the way. You will be like 2014 for me. 2014 launched the best year I’ve had yet in life – 2015. I suppose that’s prophetic after all. (2020, I’m so excited!)
When you leave, hangout with 2014. You two will be the best of friends.
Adios, sweet, dearest, 2019! Thank you again. I love you. Very much.
