2008 will always be special to me. The good memories, the bad, the people and the places have made this a colourful and profoundly life-changing experience.
I have literally walked on air, fuelled by feelings of joy and happiness so great, not even gravity could counter. I’ve sunk to the deepest depths of hell as I went through unimaginably painful moments. I’ve watched my social and academic lives fall apart, and felt the sheer humiliation of rejection, of being a fool, and being defeated.
I’ve spent an unprecedented amount of time and cash being out and about –with people! Some of them I now consider pleasant newfound friends, a few are friends who have become an essential part of my life and of course, a few who are no longer with me.
I’m delighted to say that the relationship with friends closest to me has never been better, my best friends especially. Corny as it may sound, these special few have shown me what it really means to be friends; the love and warmth they’ve shown to me, the sacrifices they’ve made for me and the faith they have in me has been nothing short of spectacular.
I will forever remember this wonderful period. It has been one of crazy extremes. It has been the best, and the worst time of my life. And I want to thank each and every single one of you who had a part in making this a truly extraordinary year for me.
