ME

<♥>

Hello, my name is Mylene.

Screams
Friday, December 30, 2011
2011 is the year that I consider myself to have grown up the most. So many, many things happened to me this year that really changed my life and mindset, but I'm glad to say that they have made me so much more mature and ready for adulthood, especially now that I'm almost turning 21. In about 2 weeks time, to be exact. I can't believe I'm almost 21- I've actually lived 2 decades on this earth already. And if I live till 80 (which I hope so!), I have already lived a quarter of my life! That leaves me with only 3/4 more to go!!!:/ I'm suffering from a quarter-life crisis here.

2011 passed very quickly for me. I can still remember when I was in London with my mummy and brother on NYE 2010, too tired to wait up till midnight to welcome in the New Year because we had to get up that morning at 4am to catch our flight from Dublin to London. Time really, really flies. But I've realised that not only can I not slow it down, I also can't catch it, to make it stay just for that moment longer, because trying to catch time is like trying to hold water in your hands- the tighter you try to grip it, the faster it trickles away. So now I'm trying to learn how to really savour the moment, to fully appreciate the present. 

The next 1/4 of my life holds major life-changing moments for me, and right now, I don't feel quite so prepared to handle them when they happen. But only when you are outside your comfort zone are you then forced to grow. I only pray when the time comes, God will be beside me, guiding me.

I never had the habit of making New Year's resolutions- I tried one year and failed miserably. And I only had a couple of resolutions. But I shall make one this year, just one- TO ALWAYS BE HAPPY. Really, life's too short to be otherwise.
