No longer naughty!

So as 2009 and another decade draws to a close, I suppose it’s time to reflect on the past year, and also the past ten years.

For me, 2009 wasn’t really anything special. Nothing great happened, nothing too bad happened. I started the year with some expectations of what I was to accomplish in the year, but somehow time flew by, and before you know it, it’s the end of the year. I know now I wasn’t really dedicated to what I wanted to happen, so it just didn’t, I was too much in my comfort zone.

However I do believe that 2010 is going to bring a lot of changes into my life, some exciting, some happy, some sad, things that have to happen to be able to move my life in the direction I want it to go. Now that I have decided what I definitely want, I will go get it.

There’s not really much more to say on 2009, so I shall reflect on the past ten years…

New Years Eve 1999, where the Y2K bug was going to be the end of the world (or something like it). I was only just 18, and I celebrated with my best friend on her balcony watching the fireworks. The world didn’t explode, so I could start living my first decade as an “adult”!

So the naughties started when I was still a uni student, and a lot has changed since then. Finished uni, graduated. Got my first fulltime job, at the company I had been working at whilst at uni (in a different role/department). I started dating my partner. A lot of ups and downs healthwise. Moved to a different city to work for a well-known company. Making new and wonderful friendships.

As I look back on what I have achieved over the past 10 years, in a way it seems like a lot, but on the other hand I feel as if I haven’t. However I try to have a “no regrets” attitude, the past is the past and I feel things happen for a reason, so whatever didn’t happen that I wanted to, wasn’t meant to be.

So where to from here? As I said, I believe 2010 is going to be a big year of change for me, but hopefully in the end it will be for the best, and I can look back in another 10 years and be proud I was able to achieve my dreams.

Goodbye 2009, you weren’t what I hoped, but you were what you were.

Hello 2010, may you bring me the changes I need, and the strength, determination and luck I need to get through it all.

Happy New Year!
