I almost stopped tradition - I was going to skip out on writing something to end the year off but the ocd in me forced me to put down something to commemorate this past year.

I grew through further education. I finished a postgraduate program in Autism and Behavioural Therapy and finally realized what I wanted to do as a career. 

I grew through experiences with family. They will always be the one foundation that I can always rely on. No bond like an Amante bond. 

I grew through experiences with my best friends. I learn the most from these people. They are the better part of me. We fought, we laughed and we cried. And we shared the best adventures together - parties, latag-latag nights, and random, beautiful ass nights. 

I grew through meeting new people. People who I grew to love, people who were just another face, people who entered my life for a short time to teach me a lesson. I met a handful of people who taught me some things that I will carry along with me as we move onto 2013. 

I grew through working to help children with autism. There are so many people who are less fortunate than me so whatever I can do to help them, I have tried to do. 

I grew through struggles with love, lust, admiration, and sexual tension. Discovering myself and discovering the opposite sex. Both physically and emotionally.

All in all, I have grown, went through changes, stood up for myself, and I can only hope to continue to grow as I carry my experiences and lessons learned into 2013. 

Cheers to love, faith, friends, family, growth, change and thicker skin. 

Love, me.
