Just That Little Bit Closer...

Well, look just how near the end is: April 15. That’s just a little over two weeks away, and after that so many things will never be the same again.

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.




"...You are too young to become a poet,
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."

Sometimes we must be hurt in order to grow
Sometimes we must fail in order to know
Sometimes we must lose in order to gain
Because some lesson in life are best learn through pain
