"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
I remember welcoming 2009 with a broken heart. I remember it very well. But when I think about the broken heart, or the man who broke my heart, I immediately thought of the other man who makes me happy. Who gives me a huge stupid grin on my face, who makes me feel like my whole body is shaking, who makes me feel loved. And don't forget about the goosebumps! He's my best friend, my partner in crime, my teenage-anger musician, my hot English man, my lover and more importantly, the love of my life.
The first few months are the months of misery and love all together. I admit, I was thinking about the past quite often, but the present and future gets me excited as well. I was torn between the two, I was confused. But I decided to let it all go, and stick with the present. Because I know that the present has an interesting offer about the future and it is something quite special. This particular man has accomplished on stealing my heart, all of it, and I have wished nothing but to never give it back.
Besides the perfect love story, this year also has been really interesting. I found myself moving back to Indonesia for University, taking Law as a major. I found myself struggling to live, as I'm living on my own now. I got my own place and rules which I found very amusing. I've had a thought, way back when, where I didn't ever want to live all by myself. I don't ever want to be far from home, all the I-don't-have-to-set-an-alarm-to-wake-up-in-the-morning routine, or the when-I'm-hungry-I-can-always-have-food time. But the most important is the I-can-ask-my-parents-for-cash-whenever-I'm-broke ability. Actually, now that I live alone, I can still do that. They wouldn't let me go without cash, and I ever so grateful because of that.
Let's go back to the perfect love story. Despite the rough times, this year has been incredibly beautiful because of that special man. We went through a few of rough times, of course. But who are we to ask for a perfect life? Everybody goes through that, it can't all be beautiful. I'm more than grateful that we both accept it and move on with it. Neither of us can be considered as a child any longer, so I don't ever get worried something horrific will happen to us just because we can't handle our emotions. Besides, arguing sometimes can be quite fun at the end of it. If you know what I mean.
My 2009 was filled with Dean Parker, the quite special man. He is the man of my dreams, and all I can think about while writing this blog is him. I can not ask for more beautiful stories, because he gave me the best ones. I've known him for years, but 2009 is the best year because I get to call him mine, and from that year on wards. 2009 is the beginning of my new perfect little life. I will cherish those joyful days I experienced always. I am looking forward for those years that are yet to come.
As for DP, I can never thank you enough for making me happiest when I'm at lowest. You are right, we are destined to be together. We have been wasting all these years before, but without it, I doubt we would ever be where we are right now. Thank you for making 2009 not just another year, thank you for making it special. I'm sure you wouldn't mind finishing the book you are writing in, me. You have wrote the first chapter of my life, our life, so please finish the book with a happy ending. As for me, I would be more than happy to help you write and complete this book of our life. I hope you won't ever get enough of me. Happy new year.
I love you so very much.
