Simply contented

Being the young, sometimes immature person that I am, it’s rare that i am happily contented with my circumstances. I guess it’s human nature to find fault with every slight imperfection without looking at the big picture.

But as 2011 is drawing to a close, I’m happy to say that I am ending it contented. Yes, my results released a few days ago were satisfactory, my Fyp groupings are settled, my bf is kind and loving, I just came back from a splendid holiday and I’m working at the company of my dreams.

But I think 2011 has taught me to see past circumstantial happiness. Rather, I’ve learned that happiness fluctuates but joy is finding that reason to smile even when life is crummy. I’ve had glimpses of that this year and it will be my resolution in 2012 to be joyful.

Who knows, it may even land me a BMW. (nudge heh nudge heh)

After I watched 2011′s Zeitgeist, I’m reminded that I’m really blessed to have made it through 2011 when so many people didn’t – that I have the luxury of an opinion and rights to fundamental living when people the world over needed to fight for it.

I will be happy with my circumstances in 2012 and learn to make the most of it.
