Goodbye 2016.
Sunday, 1 January 2017 | Posted by ZhuoYi | 0 comment/s
2016 has been an emotional roller coaster for me.
In 2016, I lost and I gained. 
I lost someone whom I wanted to keep for the longest time;
also, I found someone whom I will try (again) to keep now & forever more.

Life lessons I got from 2016:

1.
Never blame it on wrong timing and wrong place. 
Sometimes people just don’t fit together no matter what you do or how hard you try. And that’s that.

2. 
Things don’t always turn out the way you think they should.
And things that go wrong don’t always get fixed or get put back together the way they were before. I’ve learned that some broken things stay broken, and I’ve learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you. 

3.
Let the past go and make space in your heart for someone who has the capacity to love you just as much as you love them. Someday you will look back and know exactly why it had to happen. 

4.
Some friendships grow to be stronger and better than you expected. For those who say friends eventually leave, I beg to differ. I am beyond grateful for all the close ones that I still have around me, even after all these years. Cheers to a lifetime of friendship. 

5.
Even if you know what’s coming, you will never be prepared for how it feels.

6.
If you’re madly in love, let him/her feel it in waves, not oceans, because lovers need to be able to breathe.

7. 
Someday, someone is going to look at you with a light in their eyes you’ve never seen. They’ll look at you like you’re everything they’ve been looking for their entire lives. Wait for it. And when he/she comes, promise me you will let him/her in. Promise me you will love with the same intensity again.

8.
Every situation doesn't need a reaction. Sometimes you just have to leave people to do the lame shit they do.

9.
You will eventually find out who you are and what you want, and then you realise that people you have known forever don't see the things the way you do. So keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.

For what it's worth, it is never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you are proud of, and if you ever find that you are not, I hope you have the strength to start over.

- life quotes that I have compiled this year.

A big thank you for everyone who stood by me when I was at my lowest. With all the support I got, I am glad to say, I am finally doing a lot better.
