Thank you, next.

Dear 2018,

Whilst you were not the kindest to me, I am thankful for simply having made it through the year, alive.

~

Thank you, inter alia,

for keeping me and my loved ones safe and sound;

for showing me my flaws and imperfections when it comes to affairs of the heart;

for giving me the courage to leave my safe harbour which I came to know as my home away from home, and which I am indebted to;

for letting me be a part of the actual National Day Parade, for the first time in my life and with a bird's eye view no less (I love you, Singapore); and 

for tirelessly reminding me that life is short, and to be kind, always. 

~

Thank you also, 

for the new friendships forged, 

and the lost ones rekindled.

~

You were not perfect, no.  But nothing in life is.

So as with most things in life,

you learn, and move on.

~

To 2019, 

please have me at hello.

Yours sincerely,
