Dear Older Shari

So much for sentimental year-ender post, when it takes me forever to even decide the first sentence.

I had always envied people who had their way with words; the kind of people who do "creative writing". They write and blog with such good choice of words that you can actually feel what they're feeling. I could never have thought of a better way for expressing a thought like that. 

                         I wonder, is it an innate talent or a skill acquired through practice?

"For me, words are sacred, they are what translate through the spectrums of humanity"

-Lana Del Rey

I used to think that writing was lame. Then I realized that it was just me being so unconfident in expressing myself. Low-esteem child.

But don't feel sorry for me. I don't. In fact, I'm pretty proud of myself.. HAHA mahangin si ate. (ACTIVATE self-admiration! haha) 

So this time, I decided to start a diary. When I feel spontaneous, I will write. And this time, I write without hesitation and bias, but with direct honesty.They say that keeping a journal relieves stress and keeps you healthy. I hope that really does work for me since I easily get stressed by the smallest shit possible.  And hopefully it also improves my writing skill. 

ON TO THE NEW YEARS ...

Dear Older Shari, 

   

                      I know that when you are bored, you like to look back on moments that make you smile like a dirty old man. So when you decide to go all retrospect on yourself and wonder what happened in the year-of-the-mayan-apocalypse, you won't have a hard time. Because I have already compiled the important events that made your 2012. All because I love me. :)
