"Look back, and smile on perils past" - Walter Scott
I was thinking of doing a monthly thing of what happened this year, but unfortunately I don't have that much time at hand. Therefore I'll do a quick rant on what happened to my life and the world around me.
In the beginning of 2013, my life wasn't that interesting, im just a normal teenager, always tired, hisses at sunlight and too lazy to do anything. I began my year by doing a family tradition of playing video games until new year, we were so focused on our game that it took us 10minutes to realise it was new year.
Did you know in February this year, there was an adulteration meat scandal in Iceland where 30% of the meat pie dont contain meat? In Australia, where I live, that is illegal. Meat pie is like our national food along with sausages on sandwich bread (snags) - I just felt like sharing that. I thought that maybe some of you will find that interesting.
In April this year, I met tom who inspired me to write a blog, and thats where I began the idea of blogging.
My mental downfall began in around June and by early July my life was a mess, I was under alot of stress that I just began to give up on myself. Everyday I look at myself in the mirror and smile, and told myself if you smile long enough you will believe it. But I met one special person that made me laugh, really laugh, and made every day worth living and helped me get hold of my life.
In September, I travelled to Europe on a tour, to Paris, London, Florence, Venice and Vienna. It was the highlight of my year, travelling, shopping, looking at wonderful art and hospitality.
November was my stressful month, I had exams. I dont like exams. Full stop.
Now that its December, another year has past. Alot of things had change, but one thing hasn't, my eagerness for adventure. And this year has been an adventure, a roller coaster that has its up and down. And yes, I do look back and smile and say I am happy that has happened to me.
