Twenty eleven is nearly over so I guess it's time for my last blog of the year...
When you start to look back you realise just how much can change in the period of one year. But you also notice the things that haven't changed, the things that have stayed the same - that's the important part. This year I've learnt a lot, cliche perhaps but it's true. I've learnt that you never know a person one hundred percent and that sometimes the not so good things that happen can actually turn out for the better in the end. It's been a good year though; so many memories, laughs, parties and jokes. I wouldn't want to change anything that's happened this year, after all life goes on and time doesn't stop for anyone. I know a few people who hate New Years because of the false front the majority put on - people believing things will suddenly change overnight. I don't see it that way though. I see New Year as marking a new start and just let people take their own meaning from it. It's wrong to say a new year will bring happiness but it's also wrong to say a new year won't bring change. Hoping for a better year next year doesn't necessarily mean that person believes their life will suddenly become happier. Who knows what's happened in their lives this year, 'better' could mean so many things. I just hope those people remember sometimes we have to make our own changes in order to get where we want to be, things don't always happen by themselves.
I wish you all have a happy new year, who knows what 2012 will bring...
Laura.
Song: The Art of Falling by Greg Holden
