I'm sure I mentioned this before here, how much I hate the new year with all its resolutions that never get done. Usually the new year blues continue till a little after my birthday (21 Jan). I'm usually disappointed about the things that I should have done and didn't or disturbed on how fast the year before flew.
Well not this year! 2009 was the sorriest excuse of a year I had to go through. It was so bad that when it was over, I just didn't have enough energy to even think about the good things in that year (if any), and honestly, I couldn't bother. Anyway, I decided, to kick-start a good year 2010, I decided to celebrate my 29th birthday in London. My thirty something friends tell me that this is THE year I should enjoy as thirties isn't that great. But for me, honestly, I was just too drained I needed a break. Why London? London is where I realized who I really was, what I really like and explored different environments than what I was subjected to back home. Most people have that experience in Uni, but I had it in London.
So anyway, I went to London, with Meyo and Jaz and met so many friends over there. We had the time of our life. I forced myself not to think of anything that may remotely stress me or cause anxiety. It was fun , from the moment we got into the plane in Cairo airport, to the moment we reached Cairo airport. They say "للسفر سبع فوائد", travel has seven benefits; I can sure think of a couple right now.
But again, that's not the point, the point is, I made a decision to get out of the dark tunnel which I was hiding into those last few months and move back into the light. I took some positive actions too, like making a decision regarding work, getting in touch with old friends (i usually become kind of introverted when depressed), working on some of my "i wish i would" plans...etc. Well, I'm becoming a happier, more positive me.. so happy birthday to me.
