Ta Ta

Dear 2007,

First off, I'd like to thank you for all the wonderful people I met in your twelve months. I've learned a lot from them and appreciate every opportunity that came my way. I also want to thank you for keeping all the people I already knew safe and in good health. At the end of the day, that's what matters most I think.

Next, I'd like to say that I won't really miss you. I'm sorry, but it's true. I'll try to only keep the fond memories with me. Unfortunately and regrettably, the bad ones left scars. And, thanks to close friends and guardian angels, I've already recovered quite nicely from those. I'll try not to carry the bitterness into your successor, who is already looking to whoop your ass across the boards.

Perhaps I'm being too harsh and your role in my life has always just been a springboard for 2008. If that is the case, then please accept my humble apologies as I'll learn to appreciate you for what you were in later days. Actually, on second thought, perhaps you were just a life lesson - a prep course for what's to come and what to look out for. But, then that means you were merely a cautionary tale, which I'm not a fan of anyway.

I guess what I"m trying to say is that I don't know what to think of you. I think the measure of a good year is how many times you wished for the following year to start so you could start over from scratch. I have to admit, towards the end of you, it was a daily wish for me.

And, here we are. We parted ways on the dance floor while I was surrounded by some of the nearest and dearest, but I needed some closure. I don't really care what you have to say for yourself, it doesn't matter much. I mean, your time is up.

So, 2008, how ya' doing? Your first impression was amazing. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Cheers,
Arman
