After a while, I know I lost my “title” as blog writer.
People grow, status changed, and so on.
However, writing still holds a special place within. So..here we go.
2018 is a big year. I wouldn’t say the biggest, but it’s big. I wouldn’t say it’s life changing (that’s 2016), but it is still a big one. A lot happen in 2018. I just realized it when I tweeted this out just a couple days ago.
Not that it matters that much but I actually lower my dose up to 87.5%
If not seconds, it was hours after I tweeted it I realized that I actually have sooooooo many achievements that would fight for those top 3. The bird tweeted and there’s no such “regret”—regret sounds like a heavy word but I can’t think of any synonym. However, I think my future me would love to acknowledge every achievement I’ve gained within the year. Each one of them needs acknowledgment.
Without further ado, here they are *drum rolls*

Of course, I went past a lot of regrets along the way as well. Unfinished books, immature behaviour, impulsive and stupid decisions. However...let's focus on the good things, shall we?
