This year has been tumultuous to say the least. I entered 2018 with the state of mind that I would finally change for the better and get my act together. With that came a lot of obstacles, a lot of the year is a blur to be honest. I don’t remember most of it but what I will never forget is the friends I made along the way. At some point I met someone that I would become very close friends with. Together we came to form a sort of family, a mötley cruë if you will. People with their own set of quirks but still good people. I’m thankful that they stuck around on this rollercoaster of a ride. I’ll never forget the memories and the laughter we shared together. The antics and the playful banter. This year I went toe to toe with anxiety and depression and at times I felt like giving up. I thought I didn’t know who I was and what I was meant to do. Through the storm there is always a ray of light however. My apathy was at it’s zenith and I thought I lost my zeal for life for good, but with the inspiration from a friend and also a motivation inside me I found myself doing the things I love most again. Now towards the end of the year, just in time for Christmas and the New Year, I went in with the most precious gift I could ever receive. Newfound purpose and a hope. I wish everyone a Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas.
Below is a couple songs that got me through the year if you’re at all interested. Kind of a way of saying goodbye to the old memories and habits and moving onto the New Year with a new perspective in mind. In order (kinda)
Chiddy Bang – The Opposite of Adults
Kingdom Hearts – Dearly Beloved
Ken Arai [Switched OST] – Believe
Ken Arai [Shitsuren Chocolatier OST] – Marble
