It marks the end of what has been an extremely colorful (and trying) thirty months of my life. I’ve grown and changed so much, I doubt many would even recognize me as the same person I was all those years go.
I have been king of the world, I have been pathetic loser. I have been heartbreaker, I have been heartbroken. I’ve lost so much, and I’ve also gained so much. So many people have come and gone in such short a time, so many things have changed in such short a period.
This has all been such a bittersweet experience for me; I can’t say for sure whether I would or would not have wanted things to turn out differently.
But standing here today as someone who has gone through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, I am certain that I’m ready to let it all go. I drink to all that I am lucky enough to have, and all that I have lost.
As I watch the baggages of my life burn in the distance, I thank all of you who are still with me today -your unwavering faith in me, and the patience you’ve shown has given me meaning and strength during the most difficult of times.
Just two more weeks to go.
I can’t wait for all this to be over.
I can’t wait to get back to that lovely city in the valley, my home.
I can’t wait to see my parents again.
I can’t wait to have this long and much needed break.
I can’t wait for all this to end, to breathe anew, and for a new chapter to begin.
I can’t wait to leave this all behind me, and to start fresh.

Too bright to vanish quietly into the night,
Too intelligent to live and die like a cockroach,
And to wise too let life's little obstacles dictate your next move."
