Ring-a-ring o' roses


2009 was a year during which I grew up. Officially :)

Lessons were learnt:

When the trees shed their leaves, it's time for new ones to grow.

Youth is missed.

Some people will wrap you around their fingers. Unwrap yourself.

There are very few people in this world who make your life just that bit simpler, easier and 'unadulterated'

Travel. It will open your mind.

Sex is over-rated.

Yes, that's love. You love who you are when you're with that person. Yes, I think that's what love is. I don't care if you disagree.

Fashion will always be in fashion.

Clothes and shoes are as good as jewellery. Money is even better.

Sometimes you have to 'unthread' yourself from some people, even if that word doesn't exist.

Driving is exhilarating. Speed is enlightening.

Don't have children if you don't know 'why' you want to have children. You can't have them 'just 'coz', oh well, I won't, not till I figure it all out!

Adrenalin junkies have a lot of fun :p

If music doesn't stir your soul, you need new strings.

When people get jealous of you, say 'Fuck yeah' and grin!

We all go home.

Before you know it will be 2011...

not sure how much i would agree but from my own experiences i would agree
>>Travel. It will open your mind.
>>Adrenalin junkies have a lot of fun

may be by next year you 'unthread' and disagree yourself with some of these..;)

and if music cant stir soul then good possibility that nothing much can.. so it better check with a doctor..

The thing I really came to know this year is that I really don't know nearly as much as I thought I did. This was shocking. But needed, I guess.
I like the lessons you have gained.
Rock on!

BTW If you can please edit the part about sex to

Sex is over-rated. (After you are married and have done it about four hundred times)

And damn, no kids this year? I thought it'll be fun to tag the photos of the pregnant you on facebook.

Beautiful reflection!

"Yes, that's love. You love who you are when you're with that person."

That's remember to me this sentence: "You can't be the person of my life because I'm the person of my life".

I agree.
