New Year's Day

Page 961

I sighed in the bus, on the way to work.

My socks wet from the flood & the rain that was pouring outside the window.

I was cold and wet and grumpy.

What a great start to this New Year's Day.

'Happy New Year..' I muttered.

But there was a sense of excitement as well.

Another whole new year...

Wonder what adventure awaits.

In comes the 'New Year, New Me' cliche.

It's nice to do some reflection.

Let's look back at some of the highlights.

- After the events of the previous year, I finally had a proper birthday celebration with the Fam haha.

- My Thailand Trip with the Army in January.

It was a really comfortable trip for me. I miss it a lot. Especially the Thai Milk Tea??? And the FOOD. And the kittens that would come up to our bunks HAHA. I think Thailand is such a beautiful & peaceful country. It was really my peace trip.

- My ORD trip to Krabi in July-Aug

My 2nd trip to Thailand, this time to unwind with the guys. I guess it was okay. But I guess it could be better. :)

-My ORD in Aug.

Damn.. Being one of the last ones to ORD sucks but hey, I guess I've made my mark in OCS. Getting CFC was a dream come true. And being noticed by my superiors was another. I guess I had a lot of responsibilities.. but I'm glad I managed it through. With or without help from certain people. :)

-My first exposure to the film world.

I got a chance to cameo in a Youtube series back in August.. The people I met were amazing... Like wow. I could never imagine myself mixing with them. I'm really in love with film and acting now. It opened up my eyes behind the scenes about the film world. I hope to get a chance to do this again. :)

-The importance of family.

I found the great importance of family bonding when my grandma passed on. Seeing my cousins and aunts and uncles gather and cry and talk and laugh about everything.. It just makes you feel that you're not alone, ya know? I guess these series of events have brought us closer in a way... And I hope it continues.

-Starting my first Full-Time Job.

Yeap. Adulting sucks lmao. But I'm so blessed to be able to find a job so fast. I hope it propels me further into my career in the healthcare industry. And I'm so glad to finally be earning some income lmao.

-Been upping my gymming routing. Also managed to clock a lot of shoots and covers this year. I guess it's been productive for me not just physically, but creatively as well.

It's also been a wonderful wonderful time for music this year... Tove Lo's album currently being one of the most personal one to me. 

:)

It's been good.. Despite all the heartbreaks. And depressed emo shit I went through. There are some things I'm not proud of. But I guess we all make mistakes right?

Well that's for now.

I hope everyone has a good New Year. And work on your damn goals lmao.

I just want to be happy this year. Just.. content with what I have. And make the people I love happy. That's all.

Much love to whoever's reading.

I love you.

Love, Eran.

Current Song Mood: Taylor Swift - New Year's Day

There's glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me from the night before, but

Don't read the last page
But I stay when you're lost, and I'm scared
And you're turning away
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
I can tell that it's gonna be a long road
I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home

Don't read the last page
But I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong
Or we're making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
And I will hold on to you

Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

There's glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me forevermore

Don't read the last page
But I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong
Or we're making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
And I will hold on to you

Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
