I'm writing this letter to you as the year is coming to an end and it's time to reminisce the past memories that you've created this year and come up with new resolutions that can make you a better and happier person.
Have you ever thought that you could be so independent and survive in a foreign country without your parents by your side? Or have you in the first place, ever imagine that you would have a chance to step your foot in the UK? Well, I'm sure you did. Cause you're right there now and doing great.
Education. It's been 2 years since you doubted your decision on taking up this course. It might still not be your favourite and what your heart truly wants but see, you've being doing well throughout the past 2 years and u're already in third year now. Just another one more year to go till your uni life comes to an end. Unless you wanna continue doing your PhD. So just go out there and enjoy the time being with your uni mates before you start working and never have time to travel with them again.
Family. You should be grateful you have such caring parents. A loving dad and mum. That never stop loving you no matter how many times you hurt their hearts by doing silly stuff. A naughty sis as well. That you always complain about but still love her cause she's your one and only sister in this world. Your doggie, Nong Nong is still acting like 1 year old although he's already 10. You should know, sometimes mum nags for a reason. If it weren't because of her nagging, you wouldn't be there in UK using money like using water. And at the same time, still not causing burden to your parents. The best thing is buying presents for your family without using their money. But still, please control yourself.
Friends. To you, friends are priceless and more important than anything else. Keep up with this thought and never lose faith. Appreciate friends that are there for you all the time. To share your happiness and sorrows. There are times that you will meet friends that hurt you, but do not let if affect you. Stay strong and believe in yourself.
Relationship.Initially you thought it would be fine to be on a long-distance relationship, but as time pass, you began to doubt your thoughts and it was never the same anymore. There's no turning back to the words that hurts and I know you won't forgive yourself for the mistakes you've done. Give a deep thought of what you really want and stop causing pain to the other party. Think of what he'd done for you and those that you went through together. It might be worth the wait.
Life. Life can be full of obstacles and things might not always turn out the way you want them to be. With the perseverance you have, i'm sure you will be able to go through it and do the best out of it. Stop saying you're the suey-est person on earth cause there are other people out there who does not have the blessings you're getting. Stop worrying about the future, about things that are not meant to be known. The time will come and you'll eventually experience it. For the time being, stop being emotional and live a happy life. Be a cheerful girl like you used to be.
Don't wanna keep you reading this letter anymore. Have fun in Birmingham for the New Year's celebration. Have a great new year ahead and have more luck. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hello 2011 =)
Yours truly
Casey.
