It's New Year's Eve. Should I be a little more sentimental?
2017 was a very odd year. I wouldn't say the same for all the other years. I got my very first part time job, I travelled more this year than any other years, I learned how to drive, I left for the US, and... what else did I do?
I think I've definitely spent a lot of this year alone, physically and mentally. All of my friends spent most of their time this year in college while I spent 9 months doing whatever else. I spent a lot of my time in the US alone too. And I like it. I don't think being alone is necessarily a bad thing. I think it depends on the person. Being alone allows me to reflect a lot, and that gives me a strange sense of peace.
Nighttime, we went to one of my aunt's church friend's house (for the 2nd time since my trip here). We had a potluck with a couple other couples, just drank some wine, ate ice cream, ate bomb food, watched Despicable Me with the crazy, hyperactive kids. I wished I had pictures. I need to start taking better pictures.
We left at 10.30pm. Aunt went to bed. Cousin and I stayed up until 12 am. We just sat on the floor of my room, with Destiny, nail polish, her guitar and our Snapchat open. For odd reasons I knew this was a moment I would look back with fondness.
It's the little things in life that matters.
