On my side of the story, 2013 was a roller coaster ride. I had fun just as much as I shed my tears. It began with a splendid story; there were people who stayed and people who insisted on living under my radar. And then some of them go, some of them (the most precious ones) decided to stay, and some others were, well... I'm not sure. Of course, it's always easy to write about ourselves being the centre of the universe, being the victim of the situation. But the truth is, I am not afraid to say that I, too, have been written off from someone else's story and that's not entirely their fault.
But this year, I learned a lot about love. About fear. About my relationship with other people. It's true what they say, you can only help someone who wants to be helped. You have to love yourself. Don't spend your time helping people who don't wanna be helped. And don't just sit there wishing people would save you, because you are not the helpless citizen of Gotham City and people are not Batman.
Today might be a little early to start a review. But I will soon be flying west and this might be the last time in 2013 that I will be able to write here, so I'm going to give it a go. This journey might be a very necessary one, because by the time I got back, it would've been 2014. I hope the good things await you, and the bad things you will leave behind. I can only promise you one thing: this journey is going to make me come back as a different person. A better one, I hope, but if I don't, please always refer me back to this post where I promise you that. Please remind me that change could mean for the better, not just for worse. I would love to hear that from you.
So, without further ado, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.
your editor-in-chief
