Revelations and Resolutions

I guess THIS is my last post of a very unusual year - perhaps borderline entertaining. Well we all make resolutions for when a New Year starts, and very few of these resolutions are actually carried out; for some people anyway, kudos to those who get them done! And to tell the truth, I can't even remember what I set myself last year, so I can't be too sure I've accomplished them, but I'll tell you this; for me, New Years is a time where people are brought together to celebrate and we get another 365 days to get to know ourselves better (forgive the cheesy unintentional rhyme). So what was 2011 for me?

2011 was the year I performed in my last show with my drama school, and played my very first drag role. It was the year I starred in my very first lead role. It was the year I got together with my girlfriend. It was the year I realised I had a passion for writing. It was the year I got mixed results for first year A-levels. It was the year I got to know who my real friends are and who aren't. It was the year I was incredibly stupid. It was the year of many regrets. 2011 was the year I also became fixed on certain genres of music. It was the year I realised that for the first time, I had somebody who really cared for me. It was the year of many hilarious outings. It was the year of seeing a best friend after 5 years. It was also the year of realising that my best friend is only a call away. It was the year I bucked up my ideas. And it was the first year I've ever met someone online who I talk to regularly, and who I've got connections with too. It was the year I will surely remember for a very long time. 


2011 was the year of shockingly awful revivals of old TV shows, and new drivel that managed to drag viewers by the thousands. It was the year E.T got his big break becoming part of Little Mix and winning the X-Factor; I really didn't know he could sing. I'm now not as much of a TV addict as my previous self. I rarely find time to watch it, and the time that I do have, I won't watch it.


This year has been your average year of a rollercoaster of emotions, ups and downs, broken friendships and family ties. I've become closer with the people who I reckon will remain with me for my life, and drifted from those who were just summer companions. I went through an incredibly rough patch and have pulled through. So I've come to the conclusion that these bright and happy New Years resolutions that people are adamant on making, hardly ever come true without a few hiccups on the way. That's life, I guess. But I've learned to forget about all the shit times, as they'll only bring you down, now and in later life. My school days, though some of my best, are now floating away into the distance, and the future is quickly shooting in. What will 2012 hold for me? It will be the year of one of the biggest decisions of my life - leaving home to fly 11,000 miles away. The year I leave college. The year I will make many new friends. But I really do hope the ones I have now, the ones who understand me for me, stay put. 

So what does 2012 have in store for you?
